J'ai compris, masquez ceciEndurance exercise improves cholesterol levels and heart health in people with coronary artery disease
Chen YC, Tsai JC, Liou YM, and Chan P. L'efficacité de l'entraînement en endurance chez les patients atteints d'une coronaropathie: une méta-analyse des essais contrôlés randomisés Eur J Cardiovasc Nurs. 2016;16:397-408.
Review question
Does endurance exercise help reduce the risk of heart disease, increase endurance or improve heart function in people with coronary artery disease? What type of exercise program is most effective?
Background
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common condition in which the vessels supplying blood to the heart become blocked. People with CAD are often instructed to exercise to prevent worsening of their condition. This review examined if and how endurance (aerobic) exercise can benefit people with CAD, as well as if certain types of exercise programs are more beneficial than others.
How the review was done
This is a systematic review of 18 randomized controlled trials conducted from 2000 to 2014, including a total of 1286 participants. All the studies were considered to be of fair to good quality.
- All participants were 20 years and older, with the average age being 57 years. Participants all had known CAD ─ meaning that they previously experienced a heart attack, had a surgery or procedure to treat CAD, and/or had a clinical diagnosis of CAD.
- Study participants exercised as part of a home and/or supervised program between three to seven times per week for a total of eight to 24 weeks. Exercise sessions in the various studies ranged from 20 to 60 minutes long. The programs involved moderately intense endurance exercises, including cycling, walking and jogging.
- Researchers measured participants’ blood pressure and cholesterol (two known risk factors for CAD), peak oxygen consumption (a measure of cardiovascular endurance) and left ventricular ejection fraction (a measure of the heart’s ‘pumping’ function).
- Results were compared to control groups who did not participate in the exercise programs.
What the researchers found
Endurance exercise programs help improve risk factors for CAD. Specifically, the exercises helped decrease systolic blood pressure and low density lipoprotein (‘bad’ cholesterol) and increase high density lipoprotein (‘good’ cholesterol). Participants in the exercise programs also showed improvements in endurance and heart function. Programs that were up to 12 weeks long improved blood pressure and endurance, whereas longer programs also improved cholesterol levels and heart function. People who exercised for 60 to 90 minutes per week had the same results as people who exercised for more than 90 minutes.
Conclusion
Exercise programs appear to be an effective way to improve CAD risk factors – including cholesterol levels – as well as increase cardiovascular endurance and heart function.
