Short-term exercise training vs No exercise training
Design
Preclinical
Key result
Short-term exercise training in rabbits with chronic heart failure significantly improved cardiopulmonary reflex sensitivity from 0.0 to -5.0 %delta RSNA/mmHg (P<0.05).

Does short-term exercise training improve cardiopulmonary reflex sensitivity in a rabbit model of pacing-induced heart failure?
Absolute Event Rate: -5% vs 0%
p-value: p=<0.05
Short-term exercise training partially restores depressed cardiopulmonary reflex sensitivity and lowers resting sympathetic nerve activity in a rabbit model of pacing-induced heart failure.
Pliquett et al. (2003) studied Chronic heart failure. Short-term exercise training vs. No exercise training was evaluated on Cardiopulmonary reflex sensitivity (slope of RSNA vs LVEDP) (p=<0.05). Short-term exercise training in rabbits with chronic heart failure significantly improved cardiopulmonary reflex sensitivity from 0.0 to -5.0 %delta RSNA/mmHg (P<0.05).
