Eagle’s Eye View: Can Resistance Training Lower CV Risk?
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle reviews 21-year follow-up data from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), showing that lifestyle intervention—but not metformin—reduces multimorbidity risk in prediabetes. He also highlights low rates of hypertension and hyperlipidemia treatment among U.S. adults with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, and summarizes evidence that resistance training, particularly when combined with aerobic exercise, is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease, especially myocardial infarction, in women. Finally, he discusses the CAMERA-MRI II study in patients with atrial fibrillation and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), where catheter ablation significantly improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) regardless of late gadolinium enhancement status.
