Key result
Endurance training post-MI preserves regional blood flow to abdominal organs and red muscle during exercise.
Why the study?
The effects of endurance training on regional blood flow response to submaximal exercise in myocardial infarcted rats were not well characterized.
Does endurance training alter the regional blood flow response to exercise in myocardial infarcted rats?
Population
Myocardial infarcted rats
Comparison
Trained (endurance treadmill running) vs sedentary myocardial infarcted rats
Design

Supports exercise training to preserve splanchnic blood flow post-MI in rats; leaves open clinical translation to heart failure patients.
Does endurance training alter the regional blood flow response to exercise in myocardial infarcted rats?
Endurance training alters regional blood flow distribution during exercise in myocardial infarcted rats, favoring abdominal organs and red muscles.
Musch et al. (1992) studied Myocardial infarction. Endurance training (treadmill running) vs. Sedentary was evaluated on Regional blood flow response to submaximal exercise. Endurance training in myocardial infarcted rats altered regional blood flow during exercise, maintaining greater flow to abdominal organs and red muscles compared to sedentary controls.
