Why the study?
Does combined and supervised exercise training improve functional capacity and cardiac diastolic function in asymptomatic elderly patients with controlled hypertension?
Does combined and supervised exercise training improve functional capacity and cardiac diastolic function in asymptomatic elderly patients with controlled hypertension?
A 6-month combined exercise training program improves physical capacity and muscle strength in elderly patients with controlled hypertension, though it does not alter resting LV diastolic function.
May enhance physical capacity in asymptomatic elderly with controlled hypertension; leaves open diastolic effects pending larger trials.
Combined and supervised training for a 6-month period increases physical capacity and muscle strength in elderly patients with controlled arterial hypertension without changing resting left ventricular diastolic function.
