Abstract

Left ventricular (LV) remodeling is a dynamic process which is characterized by abnormal LV wall thickness and altered myocardial geometry, and it is considered as a negative prognostic factor in both heart failure with reduced eject fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved eject fraction (HFpEF). Hypertension, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are strongly correlated with the development and the progression of LV remodeling, LV hypertrophy and LV systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction. Indeed, the beneficial impact of exercise training on primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been well-established. Recent studies highlight that exercise training enhances functional capacity, muscle strength and endurance, cardiac function and cardiac-related biomarkers, among patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD) or HF, thus improving substantially their cardiovascular prognosis, survival rates and needs for rehospitalization. Therefore, in this review article, we discuss the evidence of LV remodeling in patients with cardiometabolic risk factors, such as hypertension, T2D, obesity, and also highlight the current studies evaluating the effect of exercise training on LV remodeling in these patients.
