Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Effects of garlic consumption on physiological variables and performance during exercise in hypoxia
Introduction Pulmonary hypoxia experienced in high altitude and hypoxic environments leads to reductions in blood oxygen levels and oxygen delivery to working muscle. In turn,
Article Description
The effect of sildenafil on right ventricular contractility in hypoxic exercise is unknown, whereas reports have shown that sildenafil is associated with a smaller increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) with exercise at high altitude. The present study evaluates the changes induced by controlled hypoxia on right ventricular pressure and performance with and without sildenafil administration. Tricuspid annular isovolumic acceleration (IVA) and annular velocities were measured in 14 healthy subjects at rest and after maximal exercise in a cross-over, double blind placebo controlled trial in three situations: normoxia, normobaric hypoxia with, and normobaric hypoxia without the administration of 100 mg sildenafil. RVSP, assessed by Doppler echocardiography, was determined from the peak tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient. RVSP during rest increased from 26.9 ± 2.3 mmHg in normoxia to 37.8 ± 6.9 mmHg in hypoxia, p < 0.01; sildenafil administration reduced RVSP in hypoxia to 30.5 ± 5.6, p < 0.01. Compared to normoxia at rest, IVA increased similarly with peak exercise in normoxia and hypoxia (by 2.37 and 1.90 m/s, respectively), but the observed increase in IVA during exercise was smaller (0.86 m/s, p < 0.05) in hypoxia. Right ventricular contractility, as estimated by IVA at peak exercise is increased with the administration of sildenafil as compared to placebo, and is not different from the values seen during exercise in normoxia. This effect seems independent of the effect of sildenafil on RVSP. © Springer-Verlag 2007.
