Key result
Return to work after MI steadily increases, reaching up to ~93% at one year.
Why the study?
Most individuals experiencing myocardial infarction are of working age, potentially leading to prolonged work disability, prompting a need to consolidate evidence on return to work.
Population

Optimizing modifiable factors may enhance post-MI return to work; confirms consensus on recovery trajectories from prior studies.
The rate of returning to work following a myocardial infarction is notably high within one year (76.9% to 92.7%), though it is influenced by various physical, psychological, and social factors.
Barbosa et al. (2025) studied this question. Return to work after myocardial infarction ranged from 21.5% to 41.7% at one month, increasing to 76.9% to 92.7% after one year, influenced by multiple factors.
