Why the study?
Does cardiac rehabilitation reduce 180-day all-cause readmission or death in patients with cardiovascular discharge criteria?
Does cardiac rehabilitation reduce 180-day all-cause readmission or death in patients with cardiovascular discharge criteria?
Cardiac rehabilitation is associated with a markedly decreased risk of 180-day all-cause readmission or death.
CR attendance was associated with lower 180-day risk; leaves open whether referral improves outcomes in randomized settings.
Regardless of demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and cardiovascular discharge criteria, the risk of 180-d all-cause readmission or death was markedly decreased in patients who attended CR compared with those who did not.
