Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is the right place to optimize the medical treatment in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.
Aims: To report the medical management in CAD patients during CR and evaluate the consequences.
Methods: CAD patients who attended a CR program within less than three months of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) were included in a prospective multicenter study.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how the sympathetic nervous system affects patients with congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS), a heart condition caused by gene mutations.
- They compared brain scans of 11 LQTS patients to 8 healthy people using a special imaging technique.
- Results showed that patients had more areas with lower nerve function in the heart, especially in those with more severe symptoms, suggesting that the sympathetic nervous system can make the disease worse.
