Abstract
Exercise therapy, especially when supervised on-site in a clinical facility or directed off-site for a home-based program, is an essential component of the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). In the case of both atherosclerotic diseases, it can decrease adverse cardiovascular (CV) events. There has been a recent push toward invasive management of both CAD and PAD but accumulating clinical experience has shown the limitation of invasive management and emphasized the importance of medications, CV risk reduction, conditioning, and exercise, especially when supervised. Exercise results in increased peak oxygen consumption (V02), improvement of wellestablished CV risk factors such as plasma lipids, and an improvement in indicators of inflammation and of various metabolic factors. Fortunately, there is generally good third-party coverage of medications and vascular interventions but unfortunately, poor insurance coverage for supervised or directed exercise programs for which significant patient benefit has been established.
Keywords: Cardiovascular risk reduction, claudication, coronary artery disease, exercise training, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, major adverse cardiac event, peripheral arterial disease, secondary prevention.

Ischemic Cardiovascular Diseases: Mechanisms, Diagnosis and Therapy
Ischemic cardiovascular disease includes myocardial infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, angina pectoris, etc., constitute the leading cause of patient mortality by preventing tissues from getting sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Ischemic heart disease, as a clinical condition, is characterized by myocardial ischemia, causing an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand, ...read more
TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN CHRONIC AND END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE
