Despite vigorous lobbying by U.S. military psychologists, medical experts and combat veterans, the Pentagon continued to block any such change in the Purple Heart award criteria well into the first term of Obama's presidency.
If the heart rate criterion was not met, the exercise was converted to a pharmacologic test.
Comparison of time and outcomes of National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development defined fetal heart rate acceleration criteria at ≤32 weeks (≥10 beats/min, ≥10 seconds) compared with standard criteria (≥15 beats/min, ≥15 seconds).
Saying today that he will promptly move to fill the seat, Mr. Clinton steered clear of ideology and specifics and listed experience, judgment and "a big heart" among his criteria.

To evaluate whether the use of adult heart rate (HR) criteria is appropriate for diagnosing orthostatic intolerance (OI) and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in children and adolescents, and to establish normative data and diagnostic criteria for pediatric OI and POTS.

BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that extended criteria heart transplant recipient mortality is higher than standard list mortality, but this is not associated with an increased incidence of either primary graft dysfunction or acute rejection.
