Biomarkers and arterial stiffness. A sub-analysis of the “Exercise training in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and permanent atrial fibrillation: A randomized clinical trial”
Highlights • Exercise training improves biomarkers in HFrEF and atrial fibrillation.• BNP, ANP, IL-6, TNF-α, and angiotensin II decreased with exercise.• Aerobic training modulated inflammation and neurohormonal activity.• No significant effect of exercise on arterial stiffness was observed.• Randomized trial supports...
