Effect of Resistance Training on Body Composition, Hemodynamic Parameters and Exercise Tolerance among Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Background: Effectiveness and safety of Resistance Training in treating various Cerebrovascular Disease diagnoses have drawn attention in recent years. Patients suffering with coronary artery disease should be offered individually tailored Resistance Training in their exercise regimen. Resistance Training was developed to help individuals with their functional status, mobility, physical performance, and muscle strength. Objective: The objective of this review was to collect, summarize and present information on the state of science focusing on usefulness, viability, safety and efficacy of Resistance Training in treating coronary artery disease and enhancing the aerobic capacity and improving overall health-related quality of life. Methods: The review is prepared in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Searches were conducted in Cochrane Library, PubMed/MEDLINE, PEDro and Scopus database. PEDro scale was used for methodological quality assessment of included studies. Two independent reviewers determined the inclusion criteria of studies by classifying interventions based on core components, outcome measures, diagnostic population and rated the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations using GRADE criteria. Results: Total 13 studies with 1025 patients were included for the detailed analysis. Findings emphasize the importance of assessing effectiveness and safety of Resistance Training in individuals with coronary artery disease. Patient specific designed exercise programs as Resistance Training targets at enhancing patients’ exercise tolerance, improves hemodynamic response and muscular strength with reduction in body fat composition. Conclusion: Resistance Training is an effective exercise that should be incorporated to counteract the loss of muscle strength, muscle mass, and physiological vulnerability, as well as to combat the associated debilitating effects on physical functioning, mobility and overall independence and Quality of Life during rehabilitation of patients with coronary artery disease.

Exploring the effects of real-time online cardiac telerehabilitation using wearable devices compared to gym-based cardiac exercise in people with a recent myocardial infarction: a randomised controlled trial

“…Our exercise protocol was found to be effective in improving body composition by increasing lean muscle mass and reducing the percentage of fat mass in both exercise groups. In agreement with our findings, a recent systematic review indicated that RT not only could improve body composition but could also improve the haemodynamic parameters and exercise tolerance in patients with CAD ( 31 ). Thus, the RT component in our exercise programme could also promote improvements in VO 2peak via haemodynamic upregulation, leading to increased exercise tolerance.…”

Immune Cell Infiltration Analysis Based on Bioinformatics Reveals Novel Biomarkers of Coronary Artery Disease

“…CAD is a major cardiovascular disease and an important cause of death in developed and developing countries. 24 Because early diagnosis and recognition are essential for the prevention and treatment of the disease, new noninvasive diagnostic methods, including biomarkers, are needed. The basic pathogenesis of CAD is atherosclerosis, 25 which is a complex, persistent and progressive inflammatory disease, characterized by lipid retention and remodeling of the coronary arteries that deliver oxygen and nutrition to the heart tissue, leading to the formation of atherosclerotic plaque and instability.…”
