Why the study?
Does a 1-year lifestyle modification program improve left ventricular diastolic function in abdominally obese men with metabolic syndrome?
Does a 1-year lifestyle modification program improve left ventricular diastolic function in abdominally obese men with metabolic syndrome?
A 1-year lifestyle intervention significantly improves left ventricular diastolic function, exercise tolerance, and heart rate variability in abdominally obese men with metabolic syndrome.
Lifestyle intervention may improve LVDD in obese MetS men; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
There was a significant improvement in LVDD after a 1-year lifestyle intervention program in abdominally obese men with MetS, such an improvement being associated with increased exercise tolerance, enhanced HRV, and reduced insulin levels.
