Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most prevalent and<br />single most common cause of morbidity and mortality1 with<br />the resulting left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) an important<br />complication2. Worldwide, CAD accounts for 5.7 million new<br />cases per year, of these 1.3 million in Europe alone3. In addition,<br />it imposes a substantial share of health service resources and<br />expenses, an impaired quality of life, disability and high social<br />cost3,4. Furthermore, LVD itself has been shown to be a powerful<br />determinant of survival2, 5.

Although coronary artery disease is the most common cause of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the role of revascularization as a treatment strategy to improve survival, reduce morbidity, and enhance the quality of life has only begun to be investigated in recent years. To date, a sole randomized controlled clinical trial has been completed. This chapter summarizes what is currently known and what is unknown with respect to revascularization for the treatment of HFrEF.

Introduction: Pharmacological treatment to control the triggering factors of coronary artery disease (CAD) is the initial front line. However, an adjuvant option to pharmacological treatment is Cardiovascular Rehabilitation (CR). Therefore, the aim of this study is to show the results of CR in improving the quality of life and functionality of a patient with mild coronary artery disease. Case description: Male, 52 years old, sedentary, former smoker for 12 years, with clinical diagnosis of mild CAD, arrhythmia, systemic arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia. The patient enters CR in August of 2017, complaining of shortness of breath, fatigue, difficulty climbing and descending stairs, limitations to perform daily life and work activities. Results: Decreased blood pressure 140/90 vs. 110/70 mmHg, increased VO2 max 32 vs. 52 ml/kg.min, improved left ventricular ejection fraction 50 vs. 68%, decreased concentric hypertrophy with LV posterior wall diastolic thickness and 12 vs. 9 mm interventricular septum and left ventricular mass reduction 299 vs. 213 g. He gets a 87% improvement in quality of life assessed by the Minnesota 72 vs. 9 points, plus decrease and withdrawal of drugs. Conclusion: An individualized Cardiovascular Rehabilitation program seems to promote improvement of quality of life, functionality and clinical aspects of patients with mild coronary artery disease.Keywords: coronary obstruction, surgery, cardiac rehabilitation.

The article presents a review of published data regarding the most important problem in cardiology - treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction and improvement of quality of life in this group. The discussion covers the management of coronary artery disease in modern cardiology, new approaches to the treatment of coronary artery disease in patients without possibility of myocardial revascularization or after revascularization. The safety and effectiveness of shock-wave therapy in this group of patients is presented.
