Implementing resistance training in the rehabilitation of coronary heart disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Strength and aerobic exercise training in coronary artery disease; it's not ‘either-or’

“…The positive findings in the current study is in accordance with the findings in a recently published metaanalysis on studies comparing AT with the combination of strength training and AT in which the investigators found that the later gave a statistically significant increased improvement in physical capacity including peak VO 2 . 32 The current study is also in accordance with a previous meta-analyses on AT compared with resistance training (RT), in which Marzolin and co-workers found that combined AT and RT (CT) was more effective than AT when it comes to body composition improvement, strength and some indicators of CRF. In addition there were no excess in adverse events in the CT group.…”

Office-Based Physical Assessment in Patients Aged 75 Years and Older with Cardiovascular Disease

“…A recent systematic review indicated elevated rates of mortality, morbidity, functional decline, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events following cardiac surgery in patients with physical frailty [5]. Physical frailty is emerging as a syndrome of pre-disability and can be minimized or reversed by interventions, such as exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation [18, 19]. The detection of physical frailty which is characterized by impaired physical performance in older adults with cardiovascular disease is necessary for clinical management and therapeutic decision-making, as recommended by the recently published clinical practice guidelines [20, 21].…”

Efectos del entrenamiento aeróbico y de fuerza combinados vs entrenamiento aeróbico sobre capacidad aeróbica y fuerza muscular en pacientes con enfermedad de las arterias coronarias

“…Al ser evaluado por texto completo, se excluyó 1 estudio por no contener EAFC (Yamamoto et al, 2016). En total se incluyeron 3 estudios, 1 identificado en la búsqueda de la base de datos PubMed (Marzolini et al, 2012) y 2 identificados en la búsqueda manual (Hollings et al, 2017, Xanthos, Gordon, & Kingsley, 2017. Un resumen de los estudios incluidos se presenta en la Tabla 2.…”

“…Los 3 estudios contienen revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis (Hollings et al, 2017, Marzolini et al, 2012, Xanthos et al, 2017. Todos los estudios compararon los efectos del EAFC y EA en pacientes adultos (rango de edad media: 45-73 años) con EAC (Hollings et al, 2017, Marzolini et al, 2012, Xanthos et al, 2017.…”
