Modulatory impact of cardiac rehabilitation on hyperhomocysteinemia in patients with coronary artery disease and "normal" lipid levels.
In coronary patients with "relatively normal" lipid values and hyperhomocystinemia (levels > or =15 micromol/L), significant 12% reductions in homocysteine levels occurred after cardiac rehabilitation and exercise training. This benefit from cardiac rehabilitation and exercise training may lead to 20% to 30% reductions in overall coronary artery disease risk.
