Key result
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation was an independent predictor of improved arterial stiffness, measured by Delta CAVI, in patients with stable coronary artery disease (OR 40.55).
Why the study?
Increased arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality in coronary artery disease, but the effect of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation on arterial stiffness assessed by CAVI in stable CAD patients needed investigation.

Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduce arterial stiffness in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
Odds Ratio: 40.55 (95% CI 8.12–202.4)
p-value: p=<0.001
A 6-week exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program significantly reduced arterial stiffness, measured by the cardio-ankle vascular index, in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Cardiac rehabilitation may reduce arterial stiffness in stable CAD; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.

Emre et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Stable coronary artery disease (n=298). Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation vs. Did not accept cardiac rehabilitation program was evaluated on Reduction in arterial stiffness (Delta CAVI) (OR 40.55, 95% CI 8.12-202.4, p=<0.001). Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation was an independent predictor of improved arterial stiffness, measured by Delta CAVI, in patients with stable coronary artery disease (OR 40.55).
