Key result
Aerobic and resistance training improve VO2peak, muscle strength, and quality of life while reducing mortality in individuals with coronary artery disease or heart failure.
Why the study?
Does exercise rehabilitation improve VO2peak, muscle strength, quality of life, and reduce mortality in individuals with coronary artery disease or heart failure?

Regular moderate-intensity aerobic and resistance training should be incorporated into the rehabilitation of patients with CAD or HF to improve physical fitness, quality of life, and reduce mortality.

Supports exercise in CAD/HF rehab; leaves open need for confirmatory RCTs before practice change.
Mandic et al. (2006) conducted a review in Coronary Artery Disease or Heart Failure. Exercise training (aerobic and resistance) was evaluated on VO2peak, muscle strength, quality of life, and mortality. Aerobic and resistance training improve VO2peak, muscle strength, and quality of life while reducing mortality in individuals with coronary artery disease or heart failure.
