Physical Exercise Versus Rosiglitazone in CAD and Prediabetes

February 1, 2010 updated by: University of Leipzig

Effects of Physical Exercise Versus Rosiglitazone on Endothelial Function in Coronary Artery Disease Patients With Prediabetes

The aim of this study is to prospectively assess the relative benefits of either treatment with rosiglitazone or physical exercise on endothelial function in patients with impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance and coronary artery disease (CAD).
