Exercise training may enhance cardiac performance under load in diabetic rat models; leaves open translation to human diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Does exercise training improve cardiac performance in diabetic rats?
Exercise training attenuates the severity of diabetic cardiomyopathy by improving cardiac output at high preloads in a rat model.
DeBlieux et al. (1993) studied this question.
