To investigate whether marked and sustained lipid-lowering in subjects with stable angina pectoris and dyslipidemia reduces exercise-induced myocardial ischemia, 17 subjects were treated with dose-adjusted atorvastatin over 1 year and underwent serial evaluation of exercise electrocardiographic ischemic parameters, serum biomarkers, and brachial artery endothelial function. Endothelial function improved progressively and C-reactive protein, P-selectin, and tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor levels decreased, but there was no decrease in exercise electrocardiographic ischemia.

Myocardial bridging resulting in an atypical acute coronary syndrome in a young athlete: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
Service de Cardiologie, Hôpital Trousseau, CHU de Tours, Avenue de la République, 37170 Chambray-Les-Tours, France.
Background: Myocardial bridging (MB) is considered a frequent and benign condition. However, some patients may experience symptoms. The recent ESC guidelines on sports participation provide guidance on the management of these symptomatic patients with MB but do not provide guidance in the presence of another cardiac pathology.

Physical exercise is a cornerstone for preventing diet-induced obesity, while it is unclear whether physical exercise could offset high-fat, high-calories diet (HFCD)-induced cardiac dysfunction. Here, mice were fed with HFCD and simultaneously subjected to physical exercise. As expected, physical exercise prevented HFCD-induced whole-body fat deposition.

Background: Exercise enhances health by supporting homeostasis, bolstering defenses, and aiding disease recovery. It activates autophagy, a conserved cellular process essential for maintaining balance, while dysregulated autophagy contributes to disease progression. Despite extensive research on exercise and autophagy independently, their interplay remains insufficiently understood.

Heart Rhythm O2
October 2024
Department of Cardiology, Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, Oslo, Norway.
Background: Several reports exist of an acquired exercise-induced arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Little is known about myocardial disease progression and arrhythmia prediction in this population.
Objective: The study sought to explore the evolution of myocardial function and structure and its relation to incident life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA), to identify markers of impending events.
Associations of the serum -6 PUFA concentrations with exercise-induced myocardial ischaemia in middle-aged and older men.

-6 PUFA, especially linoleic acid (LA) but also arachidonic acid (AA), have been inversely associated with CHD. However, mechanisms underlying these associations are not fully known. We investigated the associations of the serum concentrations of total -6 PUFA, LA, AA, -linolenic acid (GLA) and dihomo--linolenic acid (DGLA), with the odds of myocardial ischaemia during exercise, a predictor of future cardiac events.
