Does long-term exercise training improve end-exercise heart rate recovery and cardiovascular capacity in patients after acute myocardial infarction?
Long-term exercise training following standard 3-month cardiac rehabilitation maintains or improves cardiovascular capacity and heart rate recovery in post-MI patients.
Long-term exercise training is useful for maintaining or improving the beneficial results of the standard 3-month exercise training programme on cardiovascular capacity and HRR. This observation may bear beneficial prognostic effects on patients after AMI.
