Cardiac Rehabilitation Improves Coronary Blood Flow in African-American Patients with a History of Coronary Artery Disease

By: Jennifer GlenPrincipal Investigator: Sabahat Bokhari,MD

• 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.
