NorEx - The Norwegian Trial of Physical Exercise After Myocardial Infarctionvalidating

Our aim is to investigate whether four years of physical exercise prolongs life and prevents recurrent cardiovascular events in patients treated for myocardial infarction. The first participants were enrolled in October 2020. Read more about NorEx.
