Why the study?
Physical activity is recommended in patients with T2DM and CAD to reduce hyperglycemia and cardiovascular risk, but effective aerobic exercise intensity is not well defined.
Does strictly aerobic exercise reduce plasma glucose in patients with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Does strictly aerobic exercise reduce plasma glucose in patients with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus?
In patients with CAD and T2DM, a 30-minute bout of strictly aerobic exercise significantly reduces plasma glucose levels up to 2 hours post-exercise, despite very low baseline aerobic exercise capacity.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Aerobic exercise at moderate intensity may acutely lower glucose in T2DM with CAD; leaves open optimal regimens for sustained glycemic and CV benefit.
Schwaab et al. (2020) studied this question.
