OBJECTIVE: To confirm the improvement in arterial endothelial function by aerobic exercise training, @entity384 ( @entity384 ) was tested by ultrasonography. METHODS: @entity1 who received percutaneous coronary intervention due to @entity1187 were included. The @entity1 who participated in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program were categorized as the CR group, and others who did not participate as the control. Both groups underwent initial graded exercise test (GXT) and @entity384 testing. Subsequently, the CR group performed aerobic exercise training sessions. @entity1 in control only received advice regarding the exercise methods. After six weeks, both groups received follow-up GXT and @entity384 testing. RESULTS: There were 16 @entity1 in each group. There were no significant differences in the general characteristics between the groups. The VO2peak was 28.6  4.7 mL/kg/min in the CR group and 31.5  7.4 mL/kg/min in the control at first GXT, and was 31.1  5.1 ml/kg/min in the CR group and 31.4  6.0 ml/kg/min in the control at the follow-up GXT in six weeks. There was a statistically significant improvement in VO2peak only for CR group @entity1 . @entity384 value was 7.59%  1.26% in the CR group, 7.36%  1.48% in the control at first and 9.46%  1.82% in the CR group, and 8.31%  2.04% in the control after six weeks. There was a statistically significant improvement in @entity384 value in the CR group. CONCLUSION: According to the results of GXT and @entity384 testing, six-week exercise-based CR program improved VO2peak and endothelial functions significantly. Thus, exercise-based CR program is necessary in @entity1 with @entity453 .
