The Effects of Exercise on Coronary Collateral Circulation: A Review.
Curēus 2022 December
The effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system are multifaceted and complex. It is well-documented that exercise can reduce mortality related to cardiovascular pathology. One anatomical structure that has been implicated in this process is the coronary collateral circulation. The goal of this review is to evaluate the current literature on the effects of exercise on human coronary collateral circulation. A search for literature was conducted on the databases Science Direct and PubMed using the terms: coronary collateral, collateral, exercise, physical activity, resistance training, endurance training, and collateral artery. Research that had the primary outcome of assessing human coronary collateralization secondary to exercise was included. Research in which the effect of exercise was not the primary outcome was excluded. As a result, a total of 13 research papers on the effects of exercise on coronary collateral circulation were included. Thirteen original research papers were reviewed. The mean age range in all studies was between 48 and 64 years old. There was a predominance of male participants, with a total of 597 male patients and 108 female patients across all studies. It was found that initial research underestimated the effect of exercise on coronary collateral circulation due to a lack of sensitive assessment methods. With the introduction of sensitive measures like the collateral flow index (CFI) and Rentrop scoring, results have shown that coronary collateral function can be increased with exercise. Exercise has been shown to enhance coronary collateral function. There is limited evidence as to which type, duration, or intensity of exercise is most favourable to enhance coronary collateral function. There is also relatively little data on the effects of exercise in the female population and those over the age of 65 years. More research is required to determine the specific effects of exercise on coronary collateral circulation in various age groups, genders, co-morbidities, specific exercise modalities, durations, intensities, and the effect of pharmacotherapy.
