Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The high mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1) is a ubiquitous nuclear protein constitutively expressed in quiescent cells, and it has been implicated in several cellular functions, including determination of nucleosomal structure and stability, and binding of transcription factors to DNA sequences. HMGB-1 has been recently recognized as a critical mediator of inflammatory diseases. In fact, the passive release of this protein from necrotic or damaged cells represents an effective stimulus triggering the inflammatory response. Specifically, HMGB-1 binds to the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and, in turns, it activates mitogen-activated protein-kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB).
This intracellular pathway leads to the production of several pro-inflammatory cytokines. Interestingly, increased levels of HMGB-1 have been observed in atherosclerotic lesions, suggesting that HMGB-1 might be involved in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis.
This study was designed to investigate the relationship between HMGB-1 and strong postinfarction predictors of outcome such as cardiopulmonary and echocardiographic parameters before and after a 6-month exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation program.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Training Group
Postinfarction patients undergo 6-month exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
Exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation program
Trained patients attend the exercise training protocol for 6 months on hospital ambulatory-based regimen 3 times/week. Training sessions are supervised under continuous electrocardiography monitoring by a cardiologist, a physiotherapist and a graduate nurse. Each session is preceded by a 5-min warming-up and followed by a 5-min cooling-down. Exercise is performed for 30 min on a bicycle ergometer with the target of 60-70% of the peak oxygen consumption achieved at the initial symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test. Exercise protocol is performed with a gradual increase in exercise workload until the achievement of the predefined target.
