Article Synopsis
- The AGMT exercise study investigated the effects of physical training on 50 postmenopausal breast cancer patients undergoing aromatase inhibitor treatment, focusing on the feasibility and efficacy of exercise.
- Patients were divided into two groups: one received unsupervised training while the other engaged in supervised exercise for the first 24 weeks followed by unsupervised training.
- Results showed that the supervised group significantly increased their maximum power output and weekly physical activity levels compared to the unsupervised group, suggesting that supervised exercise programs are more effective in enhancing fitness in these patients.
Background: In patients with coronary heart disease, both arterial stiffness and wave reflections are increased and predict unfavorable cardiovascular events. Cardiac rehabilitation has the goal to reduce risk factors and slow the progression of the disease. The aim of this study was to prospectively determine the impact of an ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation program on pulsatile hemodynamics.
