Abstract
In coronary patients with "relatively normal" Lipid values and hyperhomocys tinemia (levels greater than or equal to 15 mu mol/L), significant 12% redu ctions in homocysteine levels occurred after cardiac rehabilitation and exe rcise training. This benefit from cardiac rehabilitation and exercise train ing may lead to 20% to 30% reductions in overall coronary artery disease ri sk.
