Patients with cardiomyopathies experience considerable morbidity and premature mortality. However, little is known about their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of life of patients with cardiomyopathies. A cross-sectional study of patients referred to the cardiovascular outpatient clinic at Tampere University Hospital was performed. The SF-36 Health Survey was completed by the patients (n = 72), and an interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to assess the patients' self-rated health (SRH). The median age of the patients was 49 years. Cor pulmonale was present in 53% of the patients. Heart failure was diagnosed in 34% of the patients. The quality of life was significantly decreased in these patients compared with population norms. The emotional aspects of the health related quality of life were particularly diminished. The patients with cardiomyopathies reported low SF-36 scores even in the absence of obvious symptoms. We conclude that patients with cardiomyopathies have a worse quality of life than the normal population.The effect of fish meals on platelet aggregation, blood pressure, and plasma lipids in men consuming fish or meat.
The effect of consumption of two meals, one fish-based and one meat-based, on platelet aggregation, blood pressure, and plasma lipids in 12 young men was studied. The order of the two diets was randomized using a crossover design. The diets were separated by at least 5 d. A submaximal platelet aggregation test (collagen) was performed before and 10 min after the meal. Blood pressure and heart rate were be359ba680
