Cardiometabolic responses to cardiac rehabilitation in people with and without diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic comorbidities manifesting as the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are highly prevalent in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients attending cardiac rehabilitation (CR). The study aimed to determine the prevalence of cardiometabolic derangements and MetS, and compare post-CR clinical responses in a large cohort of CHD patients with and without diabetes.

Methods

Analyses were conducted on 3953 CHD patients [age: 61.1 ± 10.5 years; 741 (18.7%) with diabetes] that completed a representative 12-week CR program. A propensity model was used to match patients with diabetes (n = 731) to those without diabetes (n = 731) on baseline and clinical characteristics.

Results

Diabetic patients experienced smaller improvements in metabolic paramete
