VSD and Effects of Weight Lifting - Follow up

Posted By Ashley on June 09, 1999 at 12:40:20
First off, thank you very much for answering my question about VSd and weight lifting the other day.
I have a follow up statement and question.  
The reasons for me weight lifting are the following:  to help remain healthy, gain strength in muscles, and to keep a good pleasing appearance.
Since reading about VSD and weight lifting on the internet over the past couple of weeks, I would have to say that my morale about my health has decreased.  I would think that weight lifting maybe light to moderate weights would help strengthen the cardiac muscle along with skeletal muscles.  
What kinds of side effects or damage to the cardiac muscle or lungs can occur due to heavy weight lifting or long periods of cardio exercise?
Thanks again!
