Exercise rehabilitation in coronary heart disease: community group programs
Abstract:
This paper outlines a suggested protocol for community exercise programs for the rehabilitation of patients with coronary heart disease. Information presented is based on more than seven years of experience gained by the Cardio-Pulmonary Research Institute through programs in Seattle, Mercer Island, and Yakima, WA, and in Portland, OR. Participants, referred by their personal physicians, meet three times weekly for individually prescribed group walking-jogging-calisthenic sessions lasting 45 minutes each. More than 900 individuals have participated in the program, which has been shown to be feasible, economical and safe.

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.
