Effect of Aerobic or Resistance Exercise on the Endothelial Response in Post-acute Myocardial Infarction Patients Submitted to Angioplasty

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Resistance Exercise; Cardiac Rehabilitation; Aerobic Exercise
• Interventions: Other: Resistance exercise session

• Registration Number: NCT04000893
• Lead Sponsor: Instituto de Cardiologia do Rio Grande do Sul

Brief Summary

Cardiac Rehabilitation, as art and acting science multiprofessional, is based on the training with exercises that provides the post-infarct patients to satisfactorily re-establish the patient's clinical condition and that improve the functional capacity of these individuals.

Evidence shows that aerobic exercise training provides improvements in the endothelial function of this population. However, we do not yet have strong evidence of other modalities of exercise in these parameters in post-infarction patients treated with angioplasty.
