Cardiovascular, Renal and Respiratory Effects of High Intensity, Intermediate Duration, Low Frequency Vibration.
Abstract
A research program on the influence of high intensity, intermediate duration, low frequency wholebody vibration on the cardiovascular, renal and respiratory systems is described. During the period 1 October 1978 to 31 December 1979, the major emphasis was on the development of quantitative methods to be used in the study of wholebody vibration effects. The methods developed include a television image processing system for the quantification of the pattern of atherosclerosis and a vascular casting technique for the study of systemic arterial endothelium. These techniques are not only suitable for use in the study of wholebody vibration effects, but have a larger range of applicability which includes cardiovascular physiology in general and the study of environmental factors on the cardiovascular system.
