Strength and cardio training for women with heart disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether adding strength training to aerobic exercise helps women with coronary artery disease improve their fitness and build muscle. It may help you recover better after a heart event.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
