Resistance training attenuates salt overload-induced cardiac remodeling and diastolic dysfunction in normotensive rats

Elevated salt intake induces changes in the extracellular matrix collagen, leading to myocardial stiffness and impaired relaxation. Resistance training (RT) has been used as a remarkably successful strategy in the treatment of heart disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the ef...
