Why the study?
Exercise therapy is recommended for coronary heart disease prevention, but its independent impact remains unclear.
Does exercise therapy reduce hospital admissions, mortality, and morbidity or improve HRQoL in adults with coronary heart disease compared with no exercise control?
Population

Supports integrating exercise therapy into CHD management to lower admissions and CV death; reinforces RCT evidence base for secondary prevention.
Does exercise therapy reduce hospital admissions, mortality, and morbidity or improve HRQoL in adults with coronary heart disease compared with no exercise control?
