چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundCardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves coronary artery disease risk factors and mortality. Outcomes after CR in African Americans (AAs) compared with whites have not been studied extensively.MethodsA total of 1,096 patients (169 AAs, 927 whites) were enrolled in a 36-session CR program for ischemic heart disease or postcardiac surgery. The program consisted of exercise, lifestyle modification, and pharmacotherapy.ResultsAfter CR, quality of life, blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol improved significantly in both AAs and whites, although to a lesser degree in AAs. Whites also had significant improvements in weight and triglyceride concentrations. Overall, mean peak exercise capacity, measured in metabolic equivalents (METs), improved by only 1.6 (95% CI 1.3-1.8) in AAs compared with 2.4 (2.3-2.6) in CCs (P< .001 for AAs vs CCs). African American women had the least improvement in METs, but changes were still significant (1.1 [CI 0.9-1.4]). The subgroup with the least improvement in METs was AA diabetic patients (1.4 (CI 1.1-1.7]).ConclusionAfrican Americans derive a significant benefit from CR, but not to the same degree as whites, based on changes in risk factors and in exercise capacity. Within both ethnic groups, both women and diabetic patients appeared to have markedly less improvement.
