Haha, pushing through anginal pain? That's like trying to outrun a heart attack. Not a good idea, folks.

Resistance exercise is not dangerous for those with controlled cardiovascular disease. The key is to start slow and gradually increase intensity under medical supervision.

Okay, the HR guideline makes sense to me. I'll make sure to set the intensity a bit lower than the level where issues came up.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this where we learned that pushing through anginal pain is not safe. So, C seems wrong to me.

I remember discussing that resistance training can actually be beneficial for those with controlled cardiovascular disease, so I think A is definitely not true.
