Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of an 8-week exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program on traditional and nonlinear heart rate variability (HRV) indexes, assessing the potential confounding influences of habitual physical activity (PA) and dietary intake. Conclusion Eight weeks of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program is an insufficient stimulus to improve cardiac autonomic function in post–myocardial infarction patients under optimal medication and with high levels of traditional and nonlinear HRV indexes at baseline.
