Abstract 19: Physical Activity After Chronic Total Occlusion PCI and Its Association With Health Status [Session Title: Poster Session Reception: Young Investigator Award Semi-Finalists]

Conclusion: Participation in regular exercise significantly increased 12 months after CTO PCI, and patients who had greater health status benefit after PCI were more likely to exercise regularly at 12 months. CTO PCI may enable CAD patients with limiting symptoms to engage in regular exercise. Further study of the association between health status improvement and exercise after CTO PCI is needed.
