Heart rate–lowering drugs such as verapamil improve aerobic exercise performance in healthy elderly individuals: a new way to look at left ventricular diastolic function in the elderly

Abstract

Chen et al. [(1)][1] demonstrated that early administration of intravenous verapamil reduces ventricular-vascular stiffening and improves aerobic exercise performance in healthy elderly individuals. Previously Arrighi et al. [(2)][2] reported that verapamil can induce selective enhancement of the
