Abstract:
Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation for coronary patients includes a systematic approach to the measurement and treatment of coronary risk factors, along with the better-known exercise training component. Studies of exercise and nutritional interventions in patients with coronary heart disease have documented improved primary outcomes of decreased morbidity and mortality, decreased symptoms, and fewer cardiac rehospitalizations. Quality of life, depression scores, and physical functioning are improved after rehabilitation.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
