The EU-CardioRNA Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action is a European-wide consortium established in 2018 with 31 European country members and four associate member countries to build bridges between translational researchers from academia and industry who conduct research on non-coding RNAs, cardiovascular diseases and similar research areas. EU-CardioRNA comprises four core working groups (WG1-4). In the first year since its launch, EU-CardioRNA met biannually to exchange and discuss recent findings in related fields of scientific research, with scientific sessions broadly divided up according to WG.

- The study investigated how high-intensity aerobic training (HIAT) affects blood pressure (BP) and components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).
- After 8 weeks, the HIAT group experienced a significant drop in systolic blood pressure of around 30 mmHg, while the control group saw an increase of about 15 mmHg.
- HIAT also led to increased levels of several substances in the renal tissue, suggesting a link between blood pressure, nitric oxide (NO), and the renal RAS.
Background: Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) are one of the main animal models used for studying the effects of exercise on hypertension. Therefore, the determination of adequate intensity has been essential for secure and optimized exercise prescriptions concerning hypertensive subjects. This study aimed to identify the MLSS in SHR by using a treadmill test to improve the protocols and further prescriptions of exercise intensity.
