Key result
A one-month physical training program in post-infarct patients with left ventricular dysfunction increased exercise capacity by 24% (P<0.001), though hemodynamic changes did not predict long-term events.
Why the study?
Does a one-month physical training programme improve haemodynamics and predict long-term clinical events in post-infarct patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
Cohort (n=95)
Does a one-month physical training programme improve haemodynamics and predict long-term clinical events in post-infarct patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
A one-month physical training program improves short-term exercise capacity and haemodynamics in post-infarct patients with LV dysfunction, but these improvements do not predict long-term clinical outcomes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Exercise training may boost capacity in post-MI LV dysfunction; leaves open whether hemodynamic monitoring refines event prediction beyond capacity gains.
Tavazzi et al. (1991) conducted a cohort in post-infarct patients with left ventricular dysfunction (n=95). In-hospital one-month physical training programme was evaluated on Short-term haemodynamic changes and prognostic implications. A one-month physical training program in post-infarct patients with left ventricular dysfunction increased exercise capacity by 24% (P<0.001), though hemodynamic changes did not predict long-term events.
