• African-Americans have a higher incidence of MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Events)
• African American males and females are 33% more likely to die from CAD than white males and females
• Hypothesis: To study the effects of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Coronary Blood Flow in African American Patients with a history of CAD
Methods
To study the effects of cardiac rehabilitation on coronary blood flow in African-American patients with a history of coronary artery disease through the use of non-invasive nuclear techniques. African Americans have the
highest incidence rate of MACE (Major Adverse Events). African American females and males are 33% more likely to die from CAD than white males and females. Psychosocial and environmental stress plays a major factor
in the high risk of CAD.
• Form of Study: Prospective Randomized Single Blinded Study
• 37 A.A m. and f. patients with history of Coronary
Artery Disease
• Image Modality: Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
• Coronary Blood Flow measured at Baseline and Post Treatment
• Duration of Study : 12 weeks
Software: GraphPad Instat
P value : 0.004
Mean Baseline: 2.09
Standard Deviation: ±.59
Mean Post Treatment: 2.35
Standard Deviation: ±.89
Cardiac Rehabilitation improves the Coronary blood flow in African American patients with a history of coronary artery disease in this sample population with the aid of non-invasive techniques.
