Resumen
MANTILLA-MORRON, Mirary; URINA-TRIANA, Miguel; HERAZO-BELTRAN, Yaneth y URINA-JASSIR, Daniela. Effects of a 12-week exercise program for individuals with coronary revascularization or after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.2, pp.169-175. Epub 04-Oct-2016. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2016.07.008.
Motivation:
To determine the effects of a physical exercise program in the anthropometric characteristics and postsurgical functional capacity after coronary revascularization or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Methods:
Uncontrolled clinical before and after study, in 49 patients who has undergone coronary revascularization or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Body mass index, abdominal girth, waist-to-hip ratio, hip perimeter and cardiorespiratory function were assessed by means of the six-minute walk test before and after the physical exercise program. It consisted of continuous aerobic, muscle resistance, balance and coordination exercises three times a week during a total of 12 weeks.
Results:
Abdominal girth changed from 91.4 cm to 88.4 cm (p = 0.003) in women and from 93.6 cm to 89.8 cm (p = 0.000). A significant increase of the walked distance was achieved, from 330 to 436 meters (p = 0.000); energy use from 3.4 to 4.1 MET (p = 0.000); and maximum capacity of absorbing, transporting and consuming oxygen, from 12 to 14 ml/Kg/min.
Conclusion:
The physical activity program used in this study contributed to an increase in all participants of the cardiorespiratory function and exercise tolerance, and to a decrease in abdominal girth. These beneficial effects change the prognosis of the coronary disease and reduce the metabolic risk factors.
