Implication

Prospective cohort study demonstrates significant optimization of cardiovascular risk factors in cardiac patients, highlighting the value of structured rehabilitation.

Key Points

Cardiovascular risk factors significantly improve following cardiac rehabilitation, with notable reductions in blood pressure and waist circumference.
Systolic blood pressure decreased by 3.2 mmHg after completion of phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation, and smoking cessation reached 53% among smokers.
Prospective cohort study of 446 consecutive patients demonstrates secondary prevention benefits, supporting broader referral to structured programs.
