Overview
How close are we to tailoring exercise programs to patients based on their level of cardiac health? One study, conducted by Dr. Aaron Baggish, a cardiology fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and the lead author of research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, reveals the specific cardiac structure and function changes in a group of university aged athletes when comparing the effects of strength vs. endurance exercise. Your host, Dr. Lee Freedman, discusses with Dr. Baggish the variance observed in ventricular dilation, wall thickness, diastolic function, and other areas between the two groups, and the potential this study could have in the exam room.
