Effect of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation on arterial stiffness and inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers: A randomized controlled trial of myocardial infarction patients

A short-term ECR does not seem to reduce arterial stiffness and inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers of post-MI patients under optimized medication. Nevertheless, the decrease of cf-PWV observed in the EG, when considering only those patients who attended at least 80% of exercise sessions, warrants further investigation.
