Using Non invasive nuclear techniques in such as the integration of PET scans and Cardiac Rehabilitation to increase coronary blood flow in African American patients that have had a history of Coronary artery disease. Overall the objective is to hinder from surgical procedures that may lead to higher risks of complications.

• African-Americans have a higher incidence
of MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Events)
• African American males and females are
33% more likely to die from CAD than
white males and females
• Hypothesis: To study the effects of Cardiac
Rehabilitation on Coronary Blood Flow in
African American Patients with a history of
CAD
Methods
To study the effects of cardiac rehabilitation on coronary blood flow in African-American patients with a history of coronary artery disease through the use of non-invasive nuclear techniques. African Americans have the
highest incidence rate of MACE (Major Adverse Events). African American females and males are 33% more likely to die from CAD than white males and females. Psychosocial and environmental stress plays a major factor
in the high risk of CAD.
• Form of Study: Prospective Randomized Single
Blinded Study
• 37 A.A m. and f. patients with history of Coronary
Artery Disease
• Image Modality: Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
• Coronary Blood Flow measured at Baseline and
Post Treatment
• Duration of Study : 12 weeks
Software: GraphPad Instat
P value : 0.004
Mean Baseline: 2.09
Standard Deviation: ±.59
Mean Post Treatment: 2.35
Standard Deviation: ±.89
Cardiac Rehabilitation improves the Coronary
blood flow in African American patients with a
history of coronary artery disease in this
sample population with the aid of non-invasive
techniques.
