Article Abstract
Six male firefighters who were referred to phase II cardiac rehabilitation after coronary revascularization participated in a specialized regimen of high-intensity, occupation-specific training (HIOST) that simulated firefighting tasks. During each session, the electrocardiogram, heart rate, and blood pressure were monitored, and the patients were observed for adverse symptoms. No patient had to discontinue HIOST because of adverse arrhythmias or symptoms. For physicians who must make decisions about return to work, the information collected over multiple HIOST sessions might be more thorough and conclusive than the information gained during a single treadmill exercise stress test (the recommended evaluation method).

Flight attendants play a vital role in the safety and security of air passengers during emergencies. A 61-year-old flight attendant who endured myocardial infarction and coronary artery bypass graft surgery wanted to return to full duty. To meet airline requirements, he chose to participate in our occupation-specific, high-intensity performance training program.

Occupation-specific, high-intensity cardiac rehabilitation for return to work of a young police officer after myocardial infarction from traumatic coronary artery dissection.
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent)

Department of Cardiac Rehabilitation, Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital, Dallas, Texas.
Following a traumatic coronary artery dissection and subsequent myocardial infarction from a nonpenetrating strike to the chest by an airborne metal pipe, a 33-year-old male police officer completed 12 weeks of high-intensity, symptom-limited cardiac rehabilitation in order to return to active duty. Physiological and perceptual responses to exercise were used to progress the patient through high-intensity activities that challenged the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems while simulating real work activities. In addition to substantial improvements in functional capacity (8.

Purpose: Intrinsic laryngeal skeletal muscle bioenergetics, the means by which muscles produce fuel for muscle metabolism, is an understudied aspect of laryngeal physiology with direct implications for voice habilitation and rehabilitation. The purpose of this review is to describe bioenergetic pathways identified in limb skeletal muscle and introduce bioenergetic physiology as a necessary parameter for theoretical models of laryngeal skeletal muscle function.
Method: A comprehensive review of the human intrinsic laryngeal skeletal muscle physiology literature was conducted.

Firefighters who have received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) are asked to retire or are permanently placed on restricted duty because of concerns about their being incapacitated by an ICD shock during a fire emergency. We present the case of a 40-year-old firefighter who, after surviving sudden cardiac arrest and undergoing ICD implantation, sought to demonstrate his fitness for active duty by completing a high-intensity, occupation-specific cardiac rehabilitation training program. The report details the exercise training, ICD monitoring, and stress testing that he underwent.
