Regulation of oxygen uptake and cardiac function in heart failure: effects of biventricular pacing and high-intensity interval exercise
DownloadSpring 2012
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and high-intensity interval training (HIT) have been shown to be effective for left ventricular (LV) reverse remodelling and increasing aerobic capacity in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (EF). The mechanisms underlying these...
