Does exercise training improve heart rate recovery in patients post anterior myocardial infarction?
p-value: p=<0.001
A 12-week exercise training program significantly improves heart rate recovery and functional capacity in patients post anterior myocardial infarction.

May improve HRR post anterior MI; hypothesis-generating, larger RCTs needed before practice change.
Khorshid et al. (2018) conducted an observational in anterior myocardial infarction (n=50). Exercise training vs. Baseline (before exercise training) was evaluated on Heart rate recovery in 1st minute (HRR1) and 2nd minute (HRR2) (p=<0.001). A 12-week exercise training program significantly improved heart rate recovery in the 1st and 2nd minutes (P<0.001) in patients one month post anterior myocardial infarction.
