A schematic overview of cardiovascular processes influenced by exercise. Fbn1 ^C1039G/+ Marfan mice were challenged for 5 months with daily (1 hour) treadmill exercise, which decreased aortic aneurysm progression. The red cross marks pathways studied by Mas‐Stachurska et al, which were not altered upon exercise, thus ruling them out for further investigation. The pathways with a green question mark were not (extensively) studied yet upon exercise and deserve further attention. ECM indicates extracellular matrix.
