Background: It remains unclear whether patients with large-size myocardial infarction (MI) achieve the same benefit from exercise training as do those with small- to medium-size MI.Hypothesis: This study was designed to determine the magnitude and mechanisms underlying improvement in exercise capacity in patients with large-size MI after cardiac rehabilitation.Methods: In all, 296 patients who participated in a cardiac rehabilitation program after acute MI were divided into two groups according to the peak serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level: the group with large infarction (Group 1) (greater than or equal to 5000 U/l peak CPK, 64 patients) and the group with less extensive infarction (Group 2) (
