Cardiac Rehabilitation to Improve Physical Functioning in Refractory Angina: A Pilot Study

Refractory angina patients suffer debilitating
chest pain despite optimal medical therapy and previous
cardiovascular intervention. Cardiac rehabilitation is often
not prescribed due to a lack of evidence regarding potential
efficacy and patient suitability. A randomised controlled
study was undertaken to explore the impact of cardiac rehabilitation
on cardiovascular risk factors, physical ability,
quality of life and psychological morbidity among refractory
angina sufferers.
