From the 131 patients included, carriers of coronary artery disease, 51 38.9% had non-invasive medical management, 10 7.6% had an angioplasty, 55 57.3% had coronary stents and 9 6.9% had a coronary bypass surgery; 6 4.6% were referred to the cardiac rehabilitation program as nonrevascularizable coronary artery disease. As seen on Table 2, there was a statistically significant increase in metabolic equivalents for all the analyzed groups, with important differences: High risk patients had the largest effect with a 64.37% increase and the lowest effect was seen for younger patients, with a 19.15% increase.
