Key result
High-intensity aerobic exercise shows similarly low cardiovascular event risk as moderate-intensity exercise in CHD rehab.
Why the study?
The cardiovascular risk associated with high-intensity versus moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in coronary heart disease patients was unclear.
Does high-intensity aerobic exercise affect the risk of cardiovascular events compared to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in patients with coronary heart disease?

Low event risk after high-intensity exercise in CHD; hypothesis-generating for rehabilitation programs pending randomized trials.
Does high-intensity aerobic exercise affect the risk of cardiovascular events compared to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in patients with coronary heart disease?
High-intensity aerobic exercise has a low risk of cardiovascular events in coronary heart disease patients and should be considered in cardiac rehabilitation.
Rognmo et al. (2012) studied this question. High-intensity and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise both demonstrate a low risk of cardiovascular events among patients with coronary heart disease in a rehabilitation setting.
