Substantial evidence indicates that increased levels of physical activity, exercise training,
and overall cardiorespiratory fitness provide protection in primary and secondary coronary …

Sudden, unexpected cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation is the leading cause of
death in most industrially developed countries. Yet, despite the enormity of this problem, the …

Numerous studies have indicated that psychological distress, including anxiety, is a

The mechanisms responsible for exercise-induced reductions in baseline heart rate (HR),
known as training bradycardia, remain controversial. Therefore, changes in cardiac …

We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis of the effects of obesity±overweight
and weight loss on the corrected QT interval (QTc) and QT or QTc dispersion (indices of …

Abnormalities of autonomic nervous function are associated with a poor prognosis of
patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We studied the effects of a 6-mo exercise training …

The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the literature on the effects of
bariatric surgery on obesity-associated electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities and cardiac …
