Why the study?
Although cardiac rehabilitation is effective and widely used worldwide, it is not yet widely accepted in Korea, creating an urgent need for evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to support implementation.
Effect estimate: RR 0.74 (95% CI 0.65-0.86)
p-value: p=<0.0001
These are the first clinical practice guidelines developed to support the implementation of evidence-based cardiac rehabilitation programs for patients with acute coronary syndrome in Korea.

Supports routine comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation after acute coronary syndrome; confirms mortality reduction in first Korean evidence-based guidelines.
Kim et al. (2019) conducted a review in Acute coronary syndrome. Cardiac rehabilitation vs. Usual care was evaluated on Cardiovascular mortality (RR 0.74, 95% CI 0.65-0.86, p=<0.0001). Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation significantly reduced cardiovascular mortality (RR 0.74) compared to usual care in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
