Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation as a Therapeutic Strategy for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

22 We analyzed the clinical characteristics related to AAA expansion in 665 patients, and found an inverse correlation between accelerated AAA expansion rate and the existence of CAD, 23 and subsequent meta-analysis indicated an inverse association of CAD with AAA expansion, although that association did not reach statistical significance. 24 We also identified that high calcification index of the AAA wall, reflecting atherosclerosis stage, is inversely correlated with AAA expansion rate. 25 , 26 A recent biomechanical analysis showed that elevated peak wall stress (PWS) and peak wall shear stress accelerated AAA expansion, result
