Too old to benefit from sports? The cardiovascular effects of exercise training in elderly subjects treated for isolated systolic hypertension.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:To date, there is no imaging technique to assess tubular function in vivo. Blood oxygen level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD MRI) measures tissue oxygenation based on the transverse relaxation rate (R2*). The present study investigates whether BOLD MRI can assess tubular function using a tub...
