Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Studies suggest that exercise regimens are beneficial across all phases of cancer treatment and rehabilitation. However, studies on the efficacy and safety of cardiac rehabilitation in patients with chemotherapy-related cardiomyopathy are lacking. Herein, we present two patients diagnosed with chemotherapy-related cardiomyopathy who participated in a cardiac rehabilitation program, including eight weeks of high-intensity interval training, and their exercise capacity was monitored. Both patients showed significant increases in peak oxygen consumption and 6-min walk distance. High-intensity interval training results in objective improvements in aerobic exercise capacity without serious cardiovascular complications in patients with chemotherapy-related cardiomyopathy.
