Synopsis

Exercise in both health and disease brings about beneficial changes to the heart and its capacity to pump blood. This is underpinned by changes affecting the contraction of the heart muscle cell, due to electrical, contractile, hypertrophy, and metabolic factors, to name a few. To understand and improve the potential of exercise training in prevention and treatment of dysfunction and disease, it will be important to increase our understanding of the contraction of the heart muscle cell and its changes after exercise. This symposium will present the latest research into this area by the leading international experts.
