Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improves cognitive function among patients with cardiovascular disease

Purpose: To investigate the effects of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) exercise training on cognitive performance and whether the changes are associated with alterations in prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxygenation among patients with cardiovascular disease. …

Exercise-Based cardiac rehabilitation modulates prefrontal cortex oxygenation during submaximal exercise testing in cardiovascular disease patients

The purpose of this study was to investigate if prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxygenation during incremental exercise is altered among cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients who completed 6 weeks of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Nineteen (male …

Interval exercise, but not endurance exercise, prevents endothelial ischemia-reperfusion injury in healthy subjects

Endothelial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury importantly contributes to the poor prognosis during ischemic (myocardial) events. Preconditioning, i.e., repeated exposure to short periods of ischemia, effectively reduces endothelial I/R injury. In the …
