TL;DR: Given the strong prognostic links between vascular structure, function and cardiovascular events, the implications of these findings are obvious, yet many unanswered questions remain, including the mechanisms responsible for NO bioactivity, the nature of the cellular effect and relevance of other autacoids, but also such practical questions as the optimal intensity, modality and volume of exercise training required in different populations.

TL;DR: Sirolimus use from the time of transplantation approximately halved the number of patients experiencing acute rejection and the measurable development of transplant vasculopathy at 6 months and 2 years in patients receiving azathioprine, and these effects were sustained at 2 years.

TL;DR: Although it is generally accepted that the promotion of exercise accords with clinical best practice, the anecdotal experience of many primary care physicians, cardiologists, and exercise physiologists is that, even when exercise prescriptions are adhered to, risk factors often fail to demonstrate.

TL;DR: Patients with end-stage heart failure can be safely and effectively supported by the HeartWare Ventricular Assist System with improved quality of life and neurocognitive function.

TL;DR: This study examined the effect of a novel circuit weight training (CWT) program on cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and body composition in 13 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
