Key result
Exercise training may have beneficial effects in preventing declining cardiac function or improving already impaired function during or after cancer-specific therapies.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular disease has become a leading cause of death in cancer survivors, highlighting the need to understand how cancer-related cardiovascular diseases develop and how exercise training can prevent or improve impaired cardiac function.
Does exercise training prevent declining cardiac function or improve impaired function in cancer patients undergoing or after cancer-specific therapies?
Does exercise training prevent declining cardiac function or improve impaired function in cancer patients undergoing or after cancer-specific therapies?
