Does exercise training improve vascular endothelial function and exercise capacity in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
Exercise training improves flow-mediated dilation and exercise capacity in stable CAD patients, with greater benefits seen in those with lower baseline exercise capacity.
Exercise training improved FMD and exercise capacity in stable CAD patients independent of the changes in inflammation, oxidative stress, or endothelial progenitor cells. The beneficial effects of exercise training on FMD and exercise capacity are inter-related, and more pronounced in those with baseline impaired exercise capacity.
