Reducing psychosocial stress: a novel mechanism of improving survival from exercise training.

11 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Exercise training reduces mortality in patients with coronary artery disease. Behavioral characteristics, including depression, hostility, and overall psychosocial stress, have been shown to be independent risk factors for recurrent ... Read more...

Cardiac rehabilitation and survival in older coronary patients.

28 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the effects of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on survival in a large cohort of older coronary patients. BACKGROUND: Randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have shown that CR improves survival. However, trial ... Read more...

Short and long-term labour market consequences of coronary heart disease: a register-based follow-up study.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyse to what extent individuals with coronary heart disease (CHD) leave the labour market earlier than individuals without CHD and to discuss the implications for rehabilitation. DATA AND METHODS: ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Coronary Disease'

Definition: An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
