Hemodynamic Responses to Resistance Exercise in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

Purpose: Investigate hemodynamic responses of resistance exercise (RE) with moderate load (i.e., international guidelines for RE of patients) versus RE with high load in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Medically stable male (n = 11) and female patients (n = 4) treated with PCI or percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass surgery a minimum of 6 months before this study, performed three sets of 15RM and 4RM RE in a randomized order on separate days. Beat-to-beat systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) were monitored at preexercise, and continuously during RE. Results: Compared with preexercise, SBP and DBP (mean of three sets) increased by 12% to 13% (both; P
