Exercise has powerful neuroprotective effects. But does intensity matter? Muscle contractions release myokines—chemical messengers that boost BDNF, a key driver of neuroplasticity, learning, memory, and brain resilience. Emerging evidence suggests high-intensity exercise may

MAPSE and GLS are sensitive to both HFpEF and HFrEF. GLS is confounded by BSA, MAPSE is not, both are age dependent. EF is insensitive to HFpEF, but BSA and age. independent. All are load dependent.

Pre ejection velocity -occurs before MVC, and is not isovolumic. -is true ventricular contraction, not atrial recoil -is the true LV electromechanical activation timepoint. -peak pre ejection velocity or acceleration is not an LV contractility measure

A recent study of more than 14,000 WHOOP users finds that exercising as close as 4 hours to bedtime can tank your sleep quality. For example: A maximal-intensity workout ending 2 hours before sleep delayed sleep onset by 36 minutes and reduced sleep duration by 22 minutes.

Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) SCD is defined as death from a cardiac cause within 1 hour of symptom onset, often without warning. This powerful visual summarizes the three major etiologies: 1️⃣ Ischemic heart disease : Acute MI or scar-mediated VT/VF is the most common cause. 2️⃣
