Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended as an important component of a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients. Data have shown that HTCR was high and promising. (Cardiol J 2014; 21, 5: 539-546)

SCG appeared to be more sensitive for detecting ischemia caused by more than>or=50% stenosis of the main coronary artery compared to an electrocardiographic stress test. SCG was a useful ETT adjunct for selecting patients requiring coronary angiography.

Participating in the exercise training programme contributed beneficially to a decrease in depression and anxiety manifestations in women post-myocardial infarction. Neither depression nor anxiety changed significantly in men. The impact of exercise training on physical capacity and autonomic balance was beneficial and comparable between men and women.

Warm-up effect is preserved in diabetic patients with stable angina treated with diet, partially preserved in gliclazide-treated and abolished in glibenclamide-treated patients.
