title: T'ai Chi has benefits for survivors of myocardial infarctions.
abstract: As more people are surviving after myocardial infarction, a growing number of people are living with the resulting heart failure. They may experience breathlessness, poor exercise tolerance leading to increasing muscle weakness, depression, anxiety and feelings of isolation. Exercise training is recommended but in old age, the presence of other conditions such as arthritis and lack of motivation may make this difficult.
