Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Blood Pressure in Stable Angina Patients

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressures after six-week cardiac rehabilitation programme in the stable angina patients. A randomly chosen thirty male patients (experimental group) of stable angina age ranged from 40 to 60 years were given a six- weeks cardiac rehabilitation programme and thirty male patients of stable angina (control group) age ranged from 40 to 60 years were not given any cardiac rehabilitation. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure was measured during TMT (before and after) the cardiac rehabilitation. Results showed a statistical significant improvement in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure after cardiac rehabilitation in the experimental group but the control group showed no significant improvement.
