Does an 8-week exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program improve echocardiographic parameters and exercise capacity in CAD patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
An 8-week exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program significantly improved LVEF and exercise capacity in CAD patients with LV dysfunction without causing adverse remodeling.
