Regular Exercise Helps Fight Heart Failure
By Amanda Gardner
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 7 [2007 apparently] (HealthDay News) -- Exercise
boosts the number of progenitor cells in people with heart failure,
and those cells in turn repair and rebuild weakened muscle and blood
vessels, researchers report.
According to two studies that were to be presented Wednesday at the
American Heart Association annual meeting in Orlando, Fla., that
response can dramatically enhance patients' ability to move and work
out.
"Both studies point to the beneficial effect of exercise on patients
with heart failure," said Dr. Sidney Smith, past president of the
American Heart Association and director of the Center for
Cardiovascular Science and Medicine at the University of North
Carolina School of Medicine.
"These observations provide some understanding into the mechanisms
which [make exercise helpful]," Smith said.
More than 5 million people in the United States have heart failure, a
condition that affects the heart's ability to pump blood throughout
the body.
However, researchers are beginning to understand that heart failure
woes come not only from this pumping disorder but from changes in the
legs and other parts of the body.
"The muscle of the leg starts to shrink, so there is less muscle
mass," explained Dr. Axel Linke, a co-author on both studies and
assistant professor of medicine at the University of Leipzig in
Germany. "The endothelium and the vessels supplying blood to the
muscles deteriorate, so they are less flexible, elasticity is
reduced," he said. The endothelium is a layer of cells that lines
blood vessels.
However, exercise opens up the vessels and improves their flexibility
and elasticity.
In the first study, investigators looked at whether exercise training
could activate progenitor cells -- immature cells that can divide into
other cells and help repair tissue.
Fifty men with moderate-to-severe heart failure were randomized to
receive either six months of exercise training under the supervision
of a physician, or to be sent to a control group that remained
inactive.
Exercise consisted of riding a stationary bicycle at least 30 minutes
a day (usually in two sessions).
At the end of six months, biopsies of the patients' thigh quadriceps
revealed that the number of progenitor cells in the exercise group
increased by 109 percent, progenitor cells turning into muscle cells
increased by 166 percent, and progenitor cells actively dividing to
form new cells and repair damage to the muscle increased sixfold.
For the second study, 37 men with severe heart failure were randomly
assigned to receive three months of exercise or to remain inactive.
The exercisers experienced dramatic changes: Circulating progenitor
cells increased 47 percent, progenitor cells beginning to mature into
endothelial cells increased almost 200 percent, and the density of
capillaries in skeletal tissue increased 17 percent. There were no
changes in the control group.
When they began, the exercising patients had peak oxygen uptake in the
range of other patients needing heart transplants. But regular
exercise was linked to an average 35 percent increase in exercise
capacity, giving the men about 75 percent of the capacity seen in
healthy people of the same age.
"Your heart is like an engine with six cylinders, and when we started
the exercise program in those patients, about 3.5 cylinders were just
not working," Linke explained. "After three to six months of exercise
training, two of the cylinders started working again."
"It's a tremendous improvement, and no medication is able to do it,"
he noted.
But patients with heart failure should only embark on an exercise
regimen under the supervision of a physician, Linke added.
"We recommend exercise once a day for up to 20 minutes five days a
week for patients with heart failure, but clearly an exercise program
should be initiated in in-hospital conditions or an outpatient
setting, because you never know how an individual patient might react
to initiation of a training program," he explained.

Instead, we do sense that there is a slowing of the progressive deterioration in heart function that occurs in these patients.
May you and other dear neighbors, friends, and brethren have a blessedly wonderful 2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus Christ as our Messiah the Son of Man ...

Hunger is wonderful:
It's how we know what GOD desires, which is all that is good.
Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve paid for with their and our immortal lives.
Those who suffer from the powerful delusion predicted by the prophecy of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 would deny this and perish ( gone !!! ) forever ...

You are seeing incorrectly.
This simply shows that you continue to be guided by the spirit of
error(self) so that the Holy Spirit is absolutely right to convict
you:

You are lying again, Andrew. You don't have colleagues. You don't have
any current clinical experience since losing your job in 2001. You
aren't a practicing cardiologist. There is now "in our collective
clinical experience" in your case Chung. You are a lone ranger with
fixed ideations and bizarre delusional ideas of reference. Your
medical ideas and theories don't stand up to scientific scrutiny and
you give bad advice to people who ask reasonable questions on
sci.med.cardiology.
Being so concrete and literal and nitpicking about the written use of
the verb "to see" is you being obnoxious. Everyone else on the planet
understands what the phrase is meant to convey.

It remains my choice to continue writing truthfully.
One of us is lying.
Even the non-discerning can simply use their GOD-given gifts of logic
to figure this one out.
Hint for the non-discerning:
It is written that you, satan, have been a murderer and a liar from
the beginning and that lying is your native language. Indeed, it is
also written that you are the source of all lies.
Many thanks, much praise, and all the glory to GOD for His compelling
you to unwittingly come forth to provide written proof that what the
Holy Spirit guides me to write is indeed truthful.
Laus Deo :-)
Yes, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth.
Truth is simple.

you at each GOD-given opportunity as GOD desires:

Yes - Andrew - it is YOU who are lying.
Here is the proof:
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create
evil: I the Lord do all these things.
---Isaiah 45:7
Your god is the source of all evil - he said so himself. To say anything
otherwise is to Lie.
People who lie as easily as you are doing nothing more than continuing
your evil god's work.

I don't know who you are Thom Madura. I don't know where you are headed,
but to this I say Amen.
I can see the people who follow this, whatever, this false messiah Jsus,
going down a slippery slope of ugliness and darkness. What do they care,
they haven't learned yet what sincerity and emunah is. Emunah is not just
faith, it it faithfulness to the Creator of the word, the Master of all
things. They don't even understand Adonoi.

If you write that I am Satan then you are lying Andrew. And if you
really believe that I am Satan and communicating with you through a
sci.med.cardiology thread than that is proof that you are a mentally
ill, delusional man. So which is it Andrew? Are you a liar or mentally
ill? Discerning minds can easily conclude that you are both a liar and
mentally ill.You unwittingly prove it with everything that you write.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is a lie, as I've told you before. The sense of the phrase is "your true
nature," which has nothing to do with what language is used. And besides,
"truth" and "lie" are not languages.

OMG is this still going on - who is the adult here between you and
Chung? Why would you even care what someone as crazy as Chung says
about you especially when he says it about many others - you are an
MD?????
What is the status of his hearing before the board as I have been told
that is due to happen

Incorrect.
"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your
father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to
the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his
native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." -- LORD
Jesus Christ (John 8:44)
Amen.
Your mistakes continue to underscore the fact that you continue to be
guided by the spirit of error (self) so that the Holy Spirit is
absolutely right to convict you:
