Do exercise-based interventions improve cardiovascular risk factors in patients following stroke or transient ischemic attack?
Exercise-based interventions improve key cardiovascular risk factors after stroke or TIA, supporting their use in secondary prevention.
Findings suggest that exercise-based interventions are effective in reducing systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, and fasting insulin, and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol after stroke or transient ischemic attack, providing evidence for their implementation as a strategy for secondary prevention.
