Does comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation improve mortality, morbidity, or quality of life in patients following acute myocardial infarction?
Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation following acute myocardial infarction did not significantly improve mortality, morbidity, or quality of life, questioning its current value in the UK.
In this trial, comprehensive rehabilitation following MI had no important effect on mortality, cardiac or psychological morbidity, risk factors, health-related quality of life or activity. This finding is consistent with systematic reviews of all trials reported since 1983. The value of cardiac rehabilitation as practised in the UK is open to question.
