Spontaneous and/or training-induced haemodynamic changes after myocardial infarction

Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Myocardial Perfusion Reserve in Postinfarction Patients

“…However, studying patients soon after acute MI is complicated by the degree of severity and the variable rate of spontaneous improvement. 17 Given our study purpose and design, only patients with stable MI were chosen. Thus, the current results may not be applicable to the cardiac population within the first 3 months after an acute MI.…”

What is the effect of aerobic exercise intensity on cardiorespiratory fitness in those undergoing cardiac rehabilitation? A systematic review with meta-analysis

“…Mean sample age (58.4 ± 4.9 y) was lower in groups solely of patients following MI (57.0 ± 4.1 y) and PCI (53.6 ± 5.0 y), compared with those following CABG (60.4 ± 4.0 y) or mixed pathologies (59.5 ±5.6 y). Seven studies[28][29][30][31][32][33][34] did not report age.Baseline EF was reported for only 46% of patient groups (87/196 groups) and was lower in groups of MI (51.5 ± 5.4%) and mixed pathologies (52.8 ± 4.7%), compared with CABG (58.1 ± 4.9%). Characteristics of included studies 227…”

Effects of Short-term Exercise Training on Cardiorespiratory Fitness of Male Adults with Myocardial Infarction

“…The results of these research programs indicate that proper dosing and controlled short-term physical exercise can have a positive effect on the cardiovascular function of individuals who exercise. In the early stages of the post-infarction period, there is a need for activities at an intensity and extent that would contribute to the improvement of cardiovascular functions53 ) .…”
