During exercise, there is an increased heart rate and cardiac output.
Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program designed to improve cardiovascular health in patients with heart disease or heart failure.
Enhanced parasympathetic nervous system activity leads to decreased heart rate and blood pressure.
During exercise, there is an increased glucose and fatty acid oxidation.
Exercise training leads to increased muscle fiber size and strength.
Exercise training leads to increased myocardial thickness and contractility.
Cardiac rehabilitation improves exercise tolerance and overall health-related quality of life.
Improved vasodilation and decreased peripheral resistance lead to decreased blood pressure.
During exercise, there is an increased ventilation and oxygen uptake.
Exercise training leads to reduced sympathetic nervous system activity.
Cardiac rehabilitation decreases hospitalizations and readmissions.
