Risk factors for accelerated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) expansion (>5 mm/y) in the rehabilitation group (n=49). With the logistic univariable regression analysis, change in systolic blood pressure (ΔSBP) during exercise >6.5 mm Hg after the rehabilitation program was correlated with accelerated AAA expansion (>5 mm/y). ACE indicates angiotensin‐converting enzyme; ARB, angiotensin II receptor blocker; CAD, coronary artery disease; CI, confidence interval; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CRP, C‐reactive protein; EF, ejection fraction; and HR, hazard ratio.
