2007, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :Yet, there are limited data regarding the noninvasive assessment of these changes and the overall effects of exercise on myocardial perfusion. Underpowered studies evaluating the effects of exercise on myocardial perfusion and function in patients with cardiomyopathy have been controversial, indicating both benefit19-21 and no effect.22,23 In patients who derived benefit from exercise, those with the highest thallium activity scores at baseline had the largest gains in functional capacity.

2006, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Froelicher et al20 reported a modest change in myocardial perfusion and function in a select group of patients who underwent an exercise program that lasted 1 year after AMI. However, others have reported no effect of exercise training on left ventricular ejection fraction after AMI.21,22 It is well established that patients who attain only a low workload on exercise testing after an AMI have a high risk of subsequent cardiac events compared with patients who attain a good workload.
