Short-term capacity gains from 4-week training post-MI on beta-blockers are transient; leaves open whether extended programs sustain benefits.
Does 4-weeks of exercise training improve cumulated work in male post-MI patients on beta-blocker treatment?
A 4-week exercise training program in post-MI patients on beta-blockers improves short-term exercise capacity, but this benefit is not sustained at 6 months compared to controls.
