Systolic and diastolic cardiac function time intervals and exercise capacity in women
Article Abstract:
A study of 12 females demonstrated that exercise increases systolic intervals and reduces diastolic intervals. The results were obtained using seismocardiography, which measures compression waves that travel from the heart to the chest wall. The method is similar to the way seismologists measure waves of energy in the earth. Exercising on a treadmill was the technique used in the study.

Exercise and diastolic function after myocardial infarction
Article Abstract:
Results indicate that exercise may protect against "diastolic dysfunction" condition and subsequent pulmonary edema after myocardial infarction. This occurs by heart filling at a lower end-diastolic pressure per end-diastolic volume. Furthermore, moderate-intensity treadmill running induces a rightward shift in the left ventricularend-diastolic pressure-volume relatinship.

Myocardial diastolic function and exercise
Article Abstract:
A discussion of the relationship between diastole and exercise is presented. Topics include normal left ventricular diastolic function, abnormal left ventricular diastolic function, chronic exercise, oxygen transport kinetics, and energy metabolism.
