May support high-intensity aerobic training in cardiac rehab; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm safety and efficacy.
Does high-intensity aerobic exercise training improve cardiac pump function in healthy individuals and patients with heart disease?
High-intensity aerobic exercise training may improve intrinsic cardiac pump function in patients with heart disease, though larger studies are needed to confirm safety and efficacy.
Kemi et al. (2010) studied this question.
