Brief summary
The echocardiographic indices of the right ventricle function vary significantly with demographic and anthropometric of each population factors and are associated with poor prognosis in several cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to investigate exercise-induced changes in echocardiographic indices of the right ventricle function in healthy volunteers and establish the reference values to the Mexican population.
Interventions
The patient is accelerating against a workload that gradually increases at a constant rate, during the exercise the images will be obtained by echocardiography. The patient begins with 25 Watts with increments of 25 Watts every 3 minutes, continuing the exercise until significant electrocardiographic changes occur or the patient starts with symptoms.
