Mayo Clinic researchers have found that abnormalities of diastolic function -- when the heart is in its relaxation phase -- are strongly related to decreased exercise ability, particularly as patients age. The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Jan. 21 issue.
Patricia Pellikka, M.D., a Mayo Clinic cardiologist and lead author, discusses the study.
So she said that people who don't exercise and older people have poorer diastolic (resting or between beats) function of their hearts.
That' certainly doesn't qualify as a news flash.
I noticed she also talks in a vague way with lots of jargon. Then she jumped right into talking about medical tests.
She never said - Aerobic exercise, at least 3 times a week, makes your heart and lungs stronger.
If your doctor can't help you, fire him or her. I would fire this woman is she were my doctor.
