Background: Ageing is associated with an inexorable decline in cardiac and vascular
function, resulting in an increased risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Lifestyle factors …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in
women in developed societies. Unfavorable structural and functional adaptations within the …

Background In contrast to younger athletes, there is comparatively less literature examining
cardiac structure and function in older athletes. However, a progressive accumulation of …

The rise in oxygen consumption during the transition from rest to exercise is faster in those
who are endurance-trained than those who have sedentary lifestyles, partly due to a more …

Human studies have shown high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) has beneficial
cardiovascular effects and is typically more time‐efficient compared with traditional …

ABSTRACT Introduction: Heart Failure is a common disease in the elderly. In the end stage,
patients usually accompany a reduction in fat content and lean body mass in addition to …

The hemodynamic consequences of aging have been extensively investigated during
maximal incremental exercise. However, less is known about the effects of aging on …

Aims The electrocardiographic pattern of early repolarization (ER) is related to increased
cardiac mortality in the general population. The pathophysiological basis of ER is largely …

Age-related differences in twist may be mitigated with exercise training, although this
remains inconclusive. Moreover, temporal left ventricular (LV) systolic twist mechanics …

Endurance exercise-induced orthostatic intolerance has been debated since the early
1970s. Blomqvist (1) indicated the two principal mechanisms by which orthostatic …
