Post-exercise hypotension is greater after dynamic resistance than isometric exercise

Post-exercise hypotension is greater after dynamic resistance than isometric exercise

Post-exercise hypotension (PEH) is a clinically relevant response to acute exercise and a predictor of blood pressure (BP) adaptations to chronic training. Although both dynamic and isometric resistance exercise (RE) are effective complementary strategies for BP management, their comparative effects on PEH remain unclear. This study (i) compared PEH following dynamic-and isometric-RE matched for exercise characteristics and total workload, and (ii) examined systemic hemodynamics and autonomic…

The Epidemiology of Heart Failure

The Epidemiology of Heart Failure

Heart failure remains a public health challenge despite substantial advances in cardiovascular care. It is the leading cause of hospitalization and accounts for significant health care utilization. Heart failure is a clinical syndrome resulting from structural or functional impairment of ventricular filling or contractility. The diagnosis is supported by echocardiographic and biomarker evidence. The leading etiologies for heart failure include hypertension, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, and…
