Post-AMI exercise training improves capacity without altering resting function; confirms benefits are independent of echocardiographic changes.
Does an 8-week supervised endurance and resistance exercise training program improve diastolic and systolic function in patients one month after acute myocardial infarction?
An 8-week exercise training program after AMI improves exercise capacity but does not significantly alter resting echocardiographic measures of diastolic or systolic function.
Fontes‐Carvalho et al. (2015) studied this question.
