Key result
Three-month CR improves peak workload more in euglycemic patients compared to diabetic patients.
Why the study?
The impact of cardiac rehabilitation on pathological risk factors such as impaired glucose tolerance and functional recovery in coronary artery disease patients remains under debate.
Does a 3-month multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation program improve peak workload and VO2-peak in patients with coronary artery disease?
Comparison
Euglycemic vs impaired glucose tolerance vs diabetic patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation
Design
Cohort study of a multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation program
Follow-up
3 months

CR may improve exercise capacity more in euglycemic than diabetic CAD patients; leaves open glycemic benefits and need for larger outcome trials.
Cohort (n=171)
Does a 3-month multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation program improve peak workload and VO2-peak in patients with coronary artery disease?
p-value: p=0.018
A 3-month multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation program improves physical functional capacity primarily in euglycemic CAD patients, while diabetic patients experience significant improvements in glycemic control.
Denegri et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease (n=171). Cardiac rehabilitation vs. Baseline was evaluated on Improvement of peak workload and VO2-peak (p=0.018). A 3-month cardiac rehabilitation program significantly improved peak workload in euglycemic patients compared to diabetic patients (p=0.018).
