Background: Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) is a common finding during cardiac evaluation and has been linked to increased mortality. While some studies report a sex difference, most data stem from research cohorts.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of NSVT in a real-life outpatient clinic, focusing on sex differences in mortality.
Article Synopsis
- * A 12-week exercise program was studied, showing that those who participated had a significant decrease in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, indicating better heart performance during mild exercise compared to those who maintained their usual activity.
- * Additional benefits were observed in the exercise group, including improved peak oxygen consumption, cardiac index, and overall quality of life, suggesting that physical training is effective for enhancing cardiac function and exercise capacity among these patients.

Background: Elite endurance training is characterised by a high-volume load of the heart and has been associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) in middle-aged men. We compared left atrial (LA) remodelling among elite athletes engaged in sports, categorised as having low, intermediate, and high cardiac demands.
Methods: This cross-sectional echocardiographic study of healthy elite athletes evaluated LA size and function measured as LA maximum volume (maxLAVi) and contraction strain.
Background: In patients undergoing ascending aortic surgery (AAS), postsurgical physical exercise with a safe and effective exercise prescription is recommended. Resistance training is associated with blood pressure (BP) elevations that may increase the risk of new aortic dissection or rupture. However, the acute hemodynamic response to resistance training for this patient group is unknown.
