The acute and long-term effects of a cardiac rehabilitation program on endothelial progenitor cells in chronic heart failure patients: Comparing two different exercise training protocols

Background: Vascular endothelial dysfunction is an underlying pathophysiological feature of chronic heart failure (CHF). Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are also impaired. The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program on the increase of EPCs at rest a...
