Researchers tested people who experienced heart attacks and learned that patients with stronger leg muscles displayed better health results compared to those with weaker leg muscles.
found that the incidence rate of heart failure was 10.2 per 1,000 person-years in patients with greater quadriceps strength and 22.9 per 1,000 person-years in those with lower quadriceps strength.
"Quadriceps strength is easy and simple to measure accurately in clinical practice," study author Kensuke Ueno, a physical therapist at the Kitasato University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Sagamihara, Japan said in a statement. "Our study indicates that quadriceps strength could help to identify patients at a higher risk of developing heart failure after myocardial infarction who could then receive more intense surveillance.
Ueno concludes that the findings need to be repeated in other studies, explaining that strength training quadriceps muscles are recommended for people who have suffered a heart attack to lower their risk of heart failure.
