HIIT in post-PCI CR is hypothesis-generating; leaves open efficacy versus moderate-intensity protocols in randomized trials.
Does high-intensity interval training improve functional capacity and quality of life compared to standard moderate intensity exercise in patients with CAD and mild LV dysfunction after PCI?
High-intensity interval training is safe and at least as effective as standard moderate-intensity exercise for cardiac rehabilitation in patients with CAD and mild LV dysfunction after PCI, with potential added benefits for emotional well-being.
