Does intensive cardiac rehabilitation improve coronary plaque volume and components in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
While intensive cardiac rehabilitation did not significantly differ from standard rehabilitation overall, intensive physical activity may help retard coronary plaque volume progression and improve lipid components in ACS patients during late phase II rehabilitation.
No significant difference was observed in PV or components between the intensive CR and the standard CR groups. Intensive PA, however, may retard coronary PV and ameliorate lipid component in patients with ACS participating in late phase II CR.
