Change in exercise capacity after cardiac rehabilitation following coronary heart disease in patients with and without diabetes: A follow-up study
Although patients with diabetes demonstrated improvements following CR, their gains in exercise capacity were smaller and less likely to be clinically meaningful compared with those without diabetes. These findings highlight the need for tailored CR strategies to optimise outcomes in this high-risk population.
