Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Normalizing abnormal heart rate recovery through phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation is associated with improved survival, comparable to patients with normal baseline heart rate recovery.
Heart rate recovery improved after phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation in the overall cohort. There was a strong association of abnormal HRR at exit with all-cause mortality. Patients with abnormal HRR at baseline who normalized HRR with exercise had a mortality similar to that of individuals with baseline normal HRR.
