Rivus HU6 Shows Obesity-HFpEF Potential

CardiacWire

Perhaps more importantly , the HU6 group achieved a range of obesity and HF-related secondary endpoints, including exercise capacity, quality of life, body composition, cardiac function/structure, and cardiometabolic dysfunction markers (e.g. blood pressure, pulse, glucose control, inflammation, lipid levels, and liver enzymes).

Association between locomotor muscle quality and cardiac function during exercise in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

European Journal of Heart Failure

Muscle quality and cardiac function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) during exercise. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the relationship between locomotor MQ and cardiac function during exercise in HFpEF. MQ was calculated as peak watts divided by LL%. vs. 2.3 ± 0.6 W/%,

Physiology Friday #258: How Strength and Endurance Training Shape the Heart Differently in Men vs. Women

Physiologically Speaking

Exercise changes the heart. Resistance training, however, primarily strengthens the heart’s ability to manage acute pressure loads, with minimal impact on resting cardiac output but improved systolic function under stress. 1 Cardiac adaptations to strength and endurance exercise.
