TORSION
In our study, exercise led to no significant improvement in the LV longitudinal, radial and circumferential myocardial deformation parameters. However, exercise was associated to a reduced basal rotation, twist velocity, torsion and torsional velocity. This outcome may be interpreted as a “LV torsional reserve” in individuals who exercised in post-AMI, suggesting a physiologically more efficient torsional mechanics.
