Modulatory impact of cardiac rehabilitation on hyperhomocysteinemia in patients with coronary artery disease and “normal” lipid levels

Modulatory impact of cardiac rehabilitation on hyperhomocysteinemia in patients with coronary artery disease and “normal” lipid levels

In coronary patients with "relatively normal" lipid values and hyperhomocystinemia (levels > or =15 micromol/L), significant 12% reductions in homocysteine levels occurred after cardiac rehabilitation and exercise training. This benefit from cardiac rehabilitation and exercise training...

Zusammenfassung:In coronary patients with "relatively normal" lipid values and hyperhomocystinemia (levels > or =15 micromol/L), significant 12% reductions in homocysteine levels occurred after cardiac rehabilitation and exercise training. This benefit from cardiac rehabilitation and exercise training may lead to 20% to 30% reductions in overall coronary artery disease risk.
