Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended for all patients with stable angina (SA) as an effective treatment. Hemoglobin (Hgb) levels predict exercise performance and may affect symptom threshold in SA patients. A multidisciplinary CR intervention was individually tailored for a 72-year-old patient with a diagnosis of SA, low Hgb (<10 g/dL), and typical chest pain at light-to-moderate exercise (<5 metabolic equivalent task), who was stratified as at high risk for cardiac events during exercise. Two symptom-limited exercise tests were performed before and after 36 sessions of supervised exercise training producing near-optimal accumulated total volume load and chronic training load. In this case report, we show that an individually tailored CR intervention in a patient with SA and low Hgb is feasible, effective, and safe at reducing the burden of symptoms while increasing peak exercise capacity, health-related quality of life, and physical activity engagement.
