Exercise Training Improves Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and Coronary Artery Disease - Full Text View

Purpose

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus suffer from accelerated coronary artery disease. We will assess the effects of exercise training on coronary endothelial function, vascular structure, and inflammation both in serum and skeletal muscle biopsies, as well as expression of diabetes candidate genes.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: A 4 weeks in-hospital exercise training (6x15 min bicycle/day, 5 days/week) followed by a 5 months ambulatory exercise program (30 min ergometer/day, 5 days/week, plus 1h group exercise/week)	Procedure: Coronary angiography At baseline, 4 weeks, and 6 months changes in diameter of coronary arteries in response to intracoronary infusion of acetylcholine were analyzed by quantitative coronary angiography, mean peak flow velocity by Doppler velocimetry, and intramural plaques by intravascular ultrasound. Behavioral: Exercise training 4 weeks in-hospital exercise training (6x15 min bicycle/day, 5 days/week) followed by a 5 months ambulatory exercise program (30 min ergometer/day, 5 days/week, plus 1h group exercise/week)
No Intervention: B Control	Procedure: Coronary angiography At baseline, 4 weeks, and 6 months changes in diameter of coronary arteries in response to intracoronary infusion of acetylcholine were analyzed by quantitative coronary angiography, mean peak flow velocity by Doppler velocimetry, and intramural plaques by intravascular ultrasound.
