Cardiac rehabilitation is described as clinically effective and cost-effective secondary prevention for people with heart disease. Coronary angiography is the diagnostic gold standard for CAD but is invasive and unsuitable for broad screening. Patients treated after acute coronary syndrome differ from patients receiving PCI for stable coronary disease. The study defined CAD as coronary stenosis of at least 50% in at least one coronary vessel measuring 2 mm or larger on coronary angiography. Bangladesh has limited secondary prevention and cardiac rehabilitation availability despite advanced cardiac care technology. Coronary artery disease has an estimated global prevalence of 197 million cases. LDL particles are a family of particles that differ by size, surface characteristics, conformation, electric charge, susceptibility to chemical modification, and behavior in the body. Coronary artery disease results from atherosclerotic narrowing or functional coronary alterations that reduce myocardial perfusion. Small dense LDL contributes to coronary atherosclerosis through prolonged bloodstream persistence, surface characteristics that evade liver clearance, and susceptibility to modific…
