Cardiovascular responses to high-intensity stair climbing in individuals with coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation leads to improvements in cardiovascular function in individuals with coronary artery disease. The cardiac effects of coronary artery disease (CAD) can be quantified using clinical echocardiographic measures, such as ejection fraction (EF). Measures of cardiovascular function typically only used in research settings can provide additional information and maybe more sensitive indices to assess changes after exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation. These additional measures include endothelial function (measured by flow-mediated dilation), left ventricular twist, myocardial performance index, and global longitudinal strain. To investigate the cardiovascular response to 12 week of either traditional moderate-intensity (TRAD) or stair climbing-based high-inte
