Summary

Recommendations for cardiovascular rehabilitation (CVR) encourage exercise training, primarily involving the aerobic system, to allow patients to regain independence in daily activities. However, the lactic anaerobic process is also involved during these activities (stair climbing, carrying loads, etc.). Hence there is a major interest in accurately assessing patients' anaerobic capacities in order to tailor suitable exercise programs. However, there are no functional tests specifically dedicated to the evaluation of lactic anaerobic metabolism and adapted to people with coronary disease. The investigators offer a dedicated test, the short and fast test (SFST), which can be applied in current clinical practice and has already been evaluated in a population of healthy subjects. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the safety, feasibility and validity of SFST in a population of patients with coronary artery disease.

Conditions

• Coronary Artery Disease Without Heart Failure

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Short and fast step test without measurement of pulmonary gas exchange	For one minute, the patient should climb up and down a 17.5 cm high step as quickly as possible while holding onto a bar in front of the step.
BIOLOGICAL	glucose meter	glucose meter to measure lactatemia
OTHER	ECG / heart rate	ECG and heart rate (HR) collection by telemetry
OTHER	questionnaires	VAS pain assessment and evaluation of effort perception according to Borg's scale
OTHER	Short and fast step test with measurement of pulmonary gas exchange	For one minute, the patient should climb up and down a 17.5 cm high step as quickly as possible while holding onto a bar in front of the step.
