Introduction: Recent data suggests that UK cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes do not substantially improve cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or patient survival. The exercise dose prescribed as part of a routine CR programme may be insufficient. Th...

The effect of structured exercise training on endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease (2015)
Thesis

Background: Endothelial function and arterial stiffness have shown to be predictive of cardiovascular risk.

Aim: The study sought to investigate the effect of a current 8-week exercise based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programme in the UK on endo... Read More about The effect of structured exercise training on endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease.

Data obtained from cardiopulmonary exercise testing offer additional interpretive power over conventional exercise tolerance testing. When used correctly, these data allow improved clinical decision making in patients with cardiometabolic and respira...

A clinician's guide to cardiopulmonary exercise testing 1: An introduction (2015)
Journal Article
