  • Title: [Effect of physical training on lipid metabolism and the rheologic properties of the blood of patients with ischemic heart disease].

    Journal: Kardiologiia; 1986 Dec; 26(12):55-60. PubMed ID: 3560613.
    Abstract:
    A therapeutic rationed exercise course (30 daily sessions of bicycle ergometry) was carried out in 30 male coronary patients and 11 normal subjects. Central hemodynamic parameters, lipid metabolism and blood rheologic properties were examined before and after exercise. Regular exercise was shown to bring down erythrocyte membrane levels of triglycerides, fibrinogen and cholesterol and raise the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol in coronary patients. There was a direct correlation between triglycerides and total peripheral resistance, and an inverse correlation between triglycerides and the cardiac index and another one between fibrinogen and the stroke index. The demonstrated decrease of blood viscosity is evidence of favorable clinical and hemodynamic changes in coronary patients.
