Does multi-component cardiac rehabilitation reduce total mortality in patients after acute coronary syndrome, CABG, or with mixed coronary artery disease in the modern era of statins and acute revascularisation?
Multi-component cardiac rehabilitation is associated with significantly reduced mortality after acute coronary syndrome and CABG, even in the modern era of statin therapy and acute revascularization.
