The interesting thing to me, though, is that they had to stop the study early because they couldn't recruit enough people into the exercise arm of the study. Most people wanted the quick fix of the angioplasty rather than the long term commitment of exercise. It's a problem in all of the first world countries.
Would you mind posting a link or reference to that article? It sounds really interesting (speaking as a nurse with an interest in cardiology)!
