Clinical Trial: Comparison of Upper and Lower Limb Maximal Exercise Capacities and Arterial Stiffness in Patients With CAD
Study Status: COMPLETED
Recruit Status: COMPLETED
Condition: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Comparison of Upper and Lower Limb Maximal Exercise Capacities, Arterial Stiffness, Muscle Oxygenation and Energy Consumption During Tests in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Brief Summary:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) significantly increases mortality rates in both developed and developing countries. In this condition, the impairment of arterial blood circulation leads to insufficient blood supply to the myocardium during both rest and exercise, resulting in symptoms such as angina pectoris, dyspnea, and fatigue. Patients, particularly due to their fear of experiencing angina pectoris, tend to adopt a sedentary lifestyle. This situation contributes to exercise intolerance and a reduction in…
