Exercise Training Improves Neurovascular Control and Calcium Cycling Gene Expression in Heart Failure Patients with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.

In conclusion, the exercise training in the setting of CRT improves exercise tolerance and neurovascular control and alters Ca(2+) handling gene expression in the skeletal muscle of systolic HF patients. These findings highlight the importance of including exercise training in the treatment of HF patients even following CRT. PMID: 27591218 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
