Alterations in the Properties of Red Blood Cells in Men with Coronary Artery Diseases after Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation

Table 1

Morphological parameters of blood of patients with coronary artery disease before and after comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation.

Parameter	Before CCR			After CCR
	Preexercise	Postexercise	Recovery (1 h)	Preexercise	Postexercise	Recovery (1 h)
HGB (g/dL)	14.2 ± 1.1	14.9 ± 1.1	14.3 ± 1.1	13.9 ± 1.6	14.5 ± 1.6	13.7 ± 1.7^##
RBC × 10^6/µL	4.66 ± 0.4	4.87 ± 0.4	4.71 ± 0.4	4.55 ± 0.6	4.76 ± 0.5	4.51 ± 0.5^##
HTC (%)	42.9 ± 2.6	44.9 ± 2.7	43.3 ± 2.3^#	41.2 ± 4.8	43.2 ± 4.6	40.9 ± 4.9^##
MCV (fL)	92.5 ± 3.6	92.6 ± 3.7	92.2 ± 3.8	90.8 ± 3.8	91.1 ± 3.9	90.7 ± 3.9
MCH (pg)	30.5 ± 1.6	30.6 ± 2.0	30.3 ± 1.6	30.5 ± 1.9	30.6 ± 1.9	30.3 ± 1.7

HGB: hemoglobin concentration; RBC: red blood cell; HTC: hematocrit; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin. Significant differences: preexercise vs. postexercise (before CCR). postexercise vs. recovery (1 h) (before CCR).
