Why the study?
Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improve cognitive function in patients with cardiovascular disease?
Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improve cognitive function in patients with cardiovascular disease?
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is associated with improved cognitive function and neural efficiency in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
CR may support cognitive gains in CVD; leaves open confirmation via randomized trials before practice change.
Cardiovascular disease patients enrolled in CR showed significant improvements in multiple cognitive domains along with increased cortical activation. The negative associations between cognitive functioning and PFC oxygenation suggest an improved neural efficiency.
