A study of the effects of exercise on cardiovascular function of myocardial infarction survivors showed their physical stress tolerance to increase as a result of improved myocardial contractility and the optimum adjustment of hemodynamic and oxygen support of exercise. Therefore, exercise should be used more extensively as part of the rehabilitation effort following myocardial infarction.
