Does 12 months of intense endurance exercise training improve left ventricular stroke volume and stroke work in male patients with coronary artery disease?
Prolonged, intense exercise training in patients with coronary artery disease significantly improves left ventricular stroke volume and stroke work, indicating direct cardiac adaptations.
