T2DM-linked chronotropic impairment may limit post-AMI exercise tolerance; cross-sectional data leave open causality and intervention targets.
Does type 2 diabetes mellitus impair the chronotropic response to exercise in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
AMI patients with type 2 diabetes exhibit an impaired chronotropic response to exercise compared to non-diabetic AMI patients, which may contribute to their reduced exercise capacity.
