Condition: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) · Sponsor: Gazi University
Coronary artery disease (CAD) significantly increases mortality rates in both developed and developing countries. In this condition, the impairment of arterial blood circulation leads to insufficient blood supply to the myocardium during both rest and exercise, resulting in symptoms such as angina pectoris, dyspnea, and fatigue. Patients, particularly due to their fear of experiencing angina pectoris, tend to adopt a sedentary lifestyle. This situation contributes to exercise intolerance and a reduction in exercise capacity among individuals with CAD. A review of the literature reveals a lack of studies investigating upper and lower extremity exercise capacity and the physiological responses during exercise testing in patients with CAD. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare arterial stiffness, muscle oxygenation, respiratory muscle fatigue, energy expenditure, perceived dyspnea, and fatigue during upper and lower extremity exercise testing in patients with coronary artery disease.
