- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Whether physical training would be able to reduce the patient's anginal frame. Evaluated by the quality of life questionnaire.<br>;Whether physical training would be able to reduce myocardial perfusion defects. Evaluated by myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Whether the improvement in the anginal condition would be associated with an improvement in the quality of life. Evaluated by the quality of life questionnaire.<br>;Whether physical training would increase the patients' physical capacity. Evaluated by cardiopulmonary test.;What mechanisms would be involved in improving myocardial perfusion. Evaluated by endothelial function and autonomic control.
