ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of rehabilitation and exercise training on endothelial func- tion and collateral circulation in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)who underwent PCI.Methods Sixty- three cases were divided into three groups:group A undertook rehabilitation protocol with three stages,group B with additional extracorporeal counterpulsation in addition to the intervention of group A,group C acted as control.The Bruce submaximal treadmill,coronary angiography and Doppler were conducted for evaluation of the functional per- formance,lateral branching and endothelium function.Results(1)The value of RPP and RPE of groups A and B were significantly higher than those of the control group as quantified by exercise test alter the third stage of rehabilita- tion(P
