Effects of exercise training in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm: preliminary results from a randomized trial.
J Cardiopulm Rehabil Prev. 2010 Nov-Dec; (6): 374-83
No effective medical therapy exists for early abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease. Lower extremity exercise improves aortic hemodynamics and reduces inflammation, but the safety and efficacy of exercise training in AAA disease is unknown. As an interim analysis of our prospective, randomized, longitudinal trial of exercise for AAA suppression, we investigated whether subjects with early disease could safely achieve target metabolic and hemodynamic goals.
