Key result
Four-week comprehensive rehabilitation is linked to a ~22% increase in maximal workload in three-vessel CAD.
Why the study?
The effects of rehabilitation in patients with three-vessel coronary disease considered to have no possibility of revascularization were not well established.
Does a 4-week comprehensive rehabilitation programme improve functional capacities and ischaemic threshold in patients with three-vessel coronary disease who are not eligible for revascularization?
Population
46 consecutive three-vessel coronary disease patients with no possibility of revascularization
Comparison
Before versus after 4-week comprehensive rehabilitation programme
Design
Observational cohort study
Follow-up
20.8 months

May support rehab for functional gains in non-revascularizable three-vessel CAD; leaves open randomized confirmation of outcomes.
Observational (n=46)
Does a 4-week comprehensive rehabilitation programme improve functional capacities and ischaemic threshold in patients with three-vessel coronary disease who are not eligible for revascularization?
Absolute Event Rate: 126.4% vs 103.6%
p-value: p=<0.001
A 4-week comprehensive rehabilitation programme is safe and significantly improves functional capacity and ischaemic threshold in patients with three-vessel coronary disease who are ineligible for revascularization.
Monpère et al. (1988) conducted an observational in Three-vessel coronary disease (n=46). Comprehensive rehabilitation programme vs. Before rehabilitation (baseline) was evaluated on Maximal work-load (p=<0.001). A 4-week comprehensive rehabilitation programme in patients with three-vessel coronary disease significantly increased maximal work-load from 103.6 W to 126.4 W (P<0.001).
