Exercise can protect against a broken heart.
Introduction Coronary artery disease remains a dominant cause of death around the world. The major pathology associated with coronary artery disease is ischemia reperfusion (IR)-induced cardiac injury (i.e., heart attack). Given the high incidence of heart attacks, developing a practical countermeasure to protect against IR-induced cardiac damage is important. Fortunately, a simple intervention...
متن کاملExercise does not protect the female heart: an unconvincing conclusion?
An Unconvincing Conclusion? To the Editor: The recent article by Paroo et al1 addressed an important issue relating to the sex difference in exercise-induced late cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. This study prompts a few concerns that I would like to share with the Editors and the readers of Circulation Research. (1) Exercise-induced cardioprotection in females. In th...
متن کاملExercise training in heart failure patients. Does reversing the peripheral abnormalities protect the heart?
E xercise and activity intolerance are the most frequent and debilitating symptoms in patients with mild and moderate congestive heart failure (CHF). Paradoxically, the severity of these symptoms correlates poorly with indexes of cardiac function such as the ejection fraction and hemodynamic measurements.1,2 This discordance has focused attention on pathophysiological changes in the periphery t...
متن کاملHeart attack or rhabdomyolysis?
Statins are commonly used drugs in the treatment of hyperlipidemia (HL), despite some undesirable side effects. These range from mild symptoms such as myopathy, muscle weakness and myalgia to severe muscle weakness associated with chronic myopathy and acute renal failure (ARF) as a result of rhabdomyolysis. The most serious and deadly side effect of statins is rhabdomyolysis. The case presente...
متن کاملDoes reproduction protect against oxidative stress?
A central principle of life-history theory is that parents trade investment in reproduction against that in body maintenance. One physiological cost thought to be important as a modulator of such trade-off is oxidative stress. Experimental support for this hypothesis has, however, proved to be contradictory. In this study, we manipulated the nestling rearing effort of captive canaries (Serinus ...
