INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery disease is the major pathophysiological driver of ventricular remodeling. A multi modal intervention is the key strategy to promote a positive left ventricular remodeling with improvement in volumes and ejection fraction, known as "reverse remodeling." The aim of this review was to highlight the effect of physical activity (PA) on echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance parameters of left ventricle in patients with myocardial infarction.EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: We performed a systematic review of the literature to summarize current evidence about the efficacy (in terms of improvement in chamber dimensions, ejection fraction, speckle tracking and diastolic function) of physical activity in patients with myocardial infarction, supported by echocardiographic or magnetic resonance data. Articles were searched in Pubmed, Cochrane Library and Biomed Central.EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Only papers published in English and in peer-reviewed journals up to November 2022 were selected. After an initial evaluation, 1029 records were screened; the literature search identified 20 relevant articles. From this data, some PA protocols appeared to favor left ventricular reverse remodeling. CONCLUSIONS: PA provides beneficial effects on left ventricular parameters analyzed by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery disease is the major pathophysiological driver of ventricular remodeling. A multi modal intervention is the key strategy to promote a positive left ventricular remodeling with improvement in volumes and ejection fraction, known as "reverse remodeling." The aim of this review was to highlight the effect of physical activity (PA) on echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance parameters of left ventricle in patients with myocardial infarction.EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: We performed a systematic review of the literature to summarize current evidence about the efficacy (in terms of improvement in chamber dimensions, ejection fraction, speckle tracking and diastolic function) of physical activity in patients with myocardial infarction, supported by echocardiographic or magnetic resonance data. Articles were searched in Pubmed, Cochrane Library and Biomed Central.EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Only papers published in English and in peer-reviewed journals up to November 2022 were selected. After an initial evaluation, 1029 records were screened; the literature search identified 20 relevant articles. From this data, some PA protocols appeared to favor left ventricular reverse remodeling. CONCLUSIONS: PA provides beneficial effects on left ventricular parameters analyzed by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance.
