Context: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading global cause of mortality, necessitating non‑pharmacological interventions such as exercise. Meteorin‑like protein (Metrnl), an exercise‑induced myokine and adipokine, has emerged as a critical mediator of exercise‑mediated cardiovascular benefits, though its specific mechanisms and clinical implications remain underexplored.

Objective: This review synthesizes current evidence on Metrnl's role as a key exerkine in cardiovascular health, focusing on its exercise‑induced regulatory mechanisms, tissue‑specific effects, and therapeutic potential for CVD management.

Vascular regeneration after myocardial infarction (MI) is essential to improve myocardial ischemia, delay post-infarction ventricular remodeling, and improve the long-term prognosis of MI. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play important roles in the functional repair and homeostatic maintenance of the vascular endothelium. Exercise training stimulates EPC mobilization and increases the number of circulating EPCs, which has beneficial effects on the restoration of vascular integrity and hemodynamic reconstitution.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is associated with decreased incidence of cardiovascular events, and its functionality also influences prognosis. Exercise is an important tool to improve prognosis in the post-infarction (MI) population, but the role of exercise on HDL functionality is poorly understood. Sixty-two patients with acute MI were randomized in a supervised exercise program for 12-14 weeks (exercise group-EG) or a control group (CG).

Aerobic exercise (AE) has attracted considerable research attention as a non-invasive therapeutic tool in recent years. Accumulating evidence has revealed its protective role against a wide range of diseases. In this study, we aimed to establish whether AE could inhibit apoptosis in infarcted cardiomyocytes and protect the heart.

Objective: Aim: To evaluate the rehabilitation potential, effectiveness and safety of landscape therapy in the complex rehabilitation treatment of patients with post-infarction cardiosclerosis (PC) complicated by chronic post-infarction cardiac aneurysm (CPCA) at the sanatorium stage.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We examined 62 patients with PC complicated by CPCA aged 38 to 65 years. Patients were randomized into two groups: the 1st group was undergoing the "Progressive gait" physical activity protocol in the city, and the 2nd group - in the rehabilitation department in a sanatorium.
