Key result
An 8-week exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program significantly increased peak exercise capacity from 8.00 to 10.08 METs (p<.001) in CAD patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

Sadeghi et al. (2014) studied Coronary artery disease with mild to moderate left ventricular dysfunction (n=70). Exercise-based rehabilitation program vs. Baseline (pre-rehabilitation) was evaluated on Peak exercise capacity (METs) (p=<.001). An 8-week exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program significantly increased peak exercise capacity from 8.00 to 10.08 METs (p<.001) in CAD patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
