Slow and steady wins, but the more the Better with #excercise! Read the last comprehensive meta-analysis in #HeartFailure on #EHJOpen! #OpenUpYourScience! @ESC_Journals @SaDeRosa78 @DrMarthaGulati @ProfMagnusBack
The evidence on #exercise and its benefits on #cardiovascular #health keeps growing! Great work by @ranubaral on exercise #training in #heartfailure with preserved ejection fraction #HFPEF . Is exercise training the best “pill”? @escardio journals @ehjopen
