Cardiac cycle-synchronized electrical muscle stimulator for lower limb training with the potential to reduce the heart's pumping workload. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The lower limb muscle may play an important role in decreasing the heart's pumping workload. Aging and inactivity cause atrophy and weakness of the muscle, leading to a loss of the heart-assisting role.
