Long-term stability of heart rate variability in chronic stable angina pectoris, and the impact of an acute myocardial infarction.

abstract：:Exercise and improved diet is known to be beneficial in the management of type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus. In practice, however, it is difficult for patients to implement these changes unaided. We hypothesized that a lifestyle modification programme involving residential visits would result in benefic...
