8 doctors agreed: Possibly: It depends some on your age and past history. Diverticulitis, an infection of the colon, can sometimes show a lot of thickening on ct scan. That can be hard to tell if the infection caused the swelling, or if a tumor is causing the thickening. It is common to recommend a colonoscopy several weeks after the diverticulitis had healed, if you have not already had one.
Maximal Oxygen Uptake. VO2 Max is defined as the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal or exhaustive exercise. The terms VO2max, aerobic power, aerobic capacity, and maximal oxygen uptake are all terms used interchangeably. VO2max is widely accepted as the standard gauge of cardiorespiratory fitness.
Arterial oxygen extraction is 70â80%, compared with 25% for the rest of the body. Therefore, increased oxygen consumption must principally be met by an increase in coronary blood flow, which may increase fivefold during exercise. Supply usually closely matches any change in demand. However, an increase in coronary blood flow can independently increase myocardial oxygen consumption (Gregg effect). This may be explained by full coronary arteries splinting the heart and increasing the end-diastolic fibre length and contractility.
