Abstract excerpt
We determined whether the increment in cardiac end-diastolic compliance (a reduced diastolic stiffness constant) following endurance training is related to alterations in myocardial collagen characteristics. Sixteen weeks of habitual exercise (Ex) in rats, which produced left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) [LV weight in g: Ex = 1.01 (0.04), sedentary control = 0.89 (0.04); P < 0.05], resulted in a reduced LV...
