What are the optimal characteristics of physical activity and exercise training for managing cardiovascular health in patients with cardiovascular disease?
Tailored endurance exercise 30-60 min daily combined with resistance training 2-3 times a week is recommended for patients with CAD or CHF, though data remains insufficient for other specific cardiovascular diseases.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Clinicians should prescribe this regimen for CAD and CHF patients; confirms benefits while leaving open optimal dosing for other CVDs.
Vanhees et al. (2012) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease (coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, congenital or valvular heart disease). Physical activity and exercise training was evaluated. Tailored physical activity and exercise training for patients with coronary artery disease or chronic heart failure is recommended at 30-60 minutes daily for endurance and 2-3 times weekly for resistance training.
