Low Intensity Resistance Training With Vascular Occlusion in Coronary Heart Disease Patients
Background
Conventional moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) exhibits limitations in enhancing peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) and restoring left ventricular function in post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. This gap underscores the need for improved rehabilitation strategies in coronary heart disease (CHD), where cardiovascular recovery is crucial. While high-intensity training offers benefits, its applicability can be restricted by safety and tolerability concerns in vulnerable CHD populations. This highlights a critical need for novel, effective, and safe exercise interventions.
