Overview

Eccentric training matches concentric for exercise capacity gains in stable CAD post-PCI; extends rehabilitation options with added strength benefit.

Structured PICO

Does eccentric endurance training improve exercise capacities compared to standard concentric training in patients with stable coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention?

P
Population
14 patients with stable coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention
I
Intervention
Eccentric endurance training (15 sessions, 1 session per day, 3 days a week) performing eccentric resistance exercises using both lower limbs on a specifically designed ergometer
C
Comparator
Standard concentric training program (15 sessions, 1 session per day, 3 days a week)
O
Outcome
Symptom-limited Vo2, peak workload, isometric strength of leg extensor and ankle plantar flexors, distance covered during the 6-minute walk test, and time to perform the 200-m fast walk test before and after the training periodsurrogate

Eccentric endurance training is safe and as effective as standard concentric training for improving exercise capacity in stable CAD patients post-PCI.
