Exercise and Cardioprotection: A Natural Defense Against Lethal Myocardial Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury and Potential Guide to Cardiovascular Prophylaxis
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Similar to ischemic preconditioning, high-intensity exercise has been shown to decrease infarct size following myocardial infarction. In this article, we review the literature on beneficial effects of exercise, exercise requirements for cardioprotection, common methods utilized in laboratories to study this phenomenon, and discuss possible mechanisms for exercise-mediated cardioprotection.
