Abstract

Background It was the aim of this study to assess the long-term effects of physical exercise and low-fat diet on the progression of coronary artery disease. At the beginning of the study, 113 male patients with coronary artery disease were randomized to an intervention group (n=56) or a control group (n=57); 90 patients (80%) could be reevaluated after 6 years. Methods and Results Patients in the intervention group (n=40) showed a reduction in total serum cholesterol (6.03±1.03 versus 5.67±1.01 mmol/L; P <.03) and triglyceride levels (1.94±0.8 versus 1.6±0.89 mmol/L; P <.005) and maintained their initial body mass index (26±2 versus 27±2 kg/m 2 ; P =NS), but results were not statistically different from the control group (n=50) (total serum cholesterol, 6.05±1.02 versus 5.79±0.88 mmol/L; triglycerides, 2.25±1.28 versus 1.85±0.96 mmol/L [both P =NS]; body mass index, 26±2 versus 28±3 kg/m 2 [ P <.0001]). In the intervention group, there was a significant 28% increase in physical work capacity (166±59 versus 212±89 W; P <.001), whereas values remained essentially unchanged in the control group (165±51 versus 170±60 W; P =NS; between groups, P <.05). In the intervention group, coronary stenoses progressed at a significantly slower rate than in the control group ( P <.0001). Energy expenditure during exercise was assessed in a subgroup; patients with regression of coronary stenoses spent an average of 1784±384 kcal/wk (≈4 hours of moderate aerobic exercise per week). Multivariate regression analysis identified only physical work capacity as independently contributing to angiographic changes. Conclusions After 6 years of multifactorial risk intervention, there is significant and persistent improvement in lipoprotein levels and physical work capacity, which results in a significant retardation of disease progression. These beneficial effects appear to be largely due to chronic physical exercise.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
