Key result
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduces the risk of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction and hospitalisation in people with ischemic heart disease.
Why the study?
Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduce the risk of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction and hospitalisation in people with ischemic heart disease?
Systematic Review
Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduce the risk of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction and hospitalisation in people with ischemic heart disease?
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduces the risk of MI and hospitalization in IHD patients, though high-certainty evidence for reducing total mortality is lacking.
Supports exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in ischemic heart disease; confirms reductions in myocardial infarction and hospitalization.
The current effect and certainty of evidence for several comparisons investigated support the role of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in the management of people with IHD, specifically reducing the risk of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction and hospitalisation. However, our findings highlight the lack of high-certainty evidence about hard endpoints, particularly total mortality. Future research should prioritise these primary endpoints to enhance the credibility of cardiac rehabilitation.

Furia et al. (2024) conducted a systematic review in Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction, hospitalisation, and total mortality. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduces the risk of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction and hospitalisation in people with ischemic heart disease.
