Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus is one of the major risk factors for coronary artery disease, which progresses in diabetics at a faster rate and is associated with a worse prognosis. Although interventional or surgical revascularization provide quick relief of symptoms for patients with stable coronary artery disease it has limited prognostic benefit. A multi-factorial intervention, which includes dietary measures, glucose and lipid control, anti-hypertensive treatment, and regular physical exercise does exert a positive impact on modifiable risk factors, improves cardiovascular fitness, angina-free exercise tolerance and is associated with a better prognosis. Neither our patients, nor us physicians or even our societies can afford not to include physical exercise into every persons daily life.

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...
