Abstract:
Elderly women are frequently not referred to cardiac rehabilitation programs. The data provided in this study, which demonstrate the benefits on exercise capacity, obesity indexes, behavioral characteristics, quality of life, and plasma lipids, support the idea that elderly women should be routinely referred to and vigorously encouraged to attend these programs following major coronary artery disease events.
