Abstract
Background: Patients with coronary artery disease improved their health status with aerobic training after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Purpose: To determine the response of Left Ventricular Function to aerobic exercise after coronary angioplasty. Methods: Forty patients of both sexes (5 women and 35men) with coronary artery disease who underwent PCI were included in this study, with an age range of 45 to 65 years old. They were chosen from Agouza Police Hospital and National Heart Institute. They were assigned into a single group which received twelve weeks of a treadmill walking exercise for 30 minutes three times a week. BMI, Submax H.R., Doubtamine echo measurment (Resting H.R, S.B.P., D.B.P., E.F., WMSI), 6MWD, LV-36 dysfunction questionnaire were compared between pre and post treatment. Results: There was statistical significant decrease (P<0.05) in BMI by 5.37% after treatment (Post) when compared with the corresponding mean value before initiation of treatment (Pre), in resting H.R. by 3.70%, in S.B.P by 12.81%, in D.B.P by 12.57%, in Wall Motion Segment Index by 16.42%, in LV-36 by 51.47% and significant increase in Sub max H.R. by 21.78%, in E.F. by14.82%, 6MWD by 73.01%. Conclusion: It was concluded that twelve weeks of a treadmill walking exercise for 30 minutes three times a week after PCI altered Left Ventricular Function, which improved general health status and functional capacity
