Exercise is one of the most powerful non-drug therapies in cardiology. It improves cardiac output, vascular elasticity, insulin sensitivity, and autonomic balance.
Over time, the heart pumps more efficiently, lowering resting heart rate and blood pressure. Exercise enhances endothelial function, reducing arterial stiffness — a key contributor to hypertension and coronary artery disease.
It increases HDL cholesterol, improves triglyceride metabolism, and reduces inflammation that drives plaque formation.
Mentally, exercise lowers cortisol and improves endorphins and serotonin, protecting against stress-induced heart disease.
