Key result
Cardiac rehabilitation after a first acute myocardial infarction yielded a non-significant reduction in cardiac mortality (2.9% vs 5.2% per year) but significantly reduced angina (p<0.005).
Why the study?
Does a long-term cardiac rehabilitation program reduce mortality and cardiovascular morbidity in patients after a first acute myocardial infarction?

Absolute Event Rate: 2.9% vs 5.2%
p-value: p=>0.05 and <0.1
Long-term cardiac rehabilitation after a first myocardial infarction significantly reduces the incidence of angina and demonstrates a non-significant trend toward reduced mortality.

May reduce angina after first MI; leaves open mortality benefit pending randomized trials.
n et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in First acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n=193). Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) vs. Control (no CR) was evaluated on Cardiac deaths (p=>0.05 and <0.1). Cardiac rehabilitation after a first acute myocardial infarction yielded a non-significant reduction in cardiac mortality (2.9% vs 5.2% per year) but significantly reduced angina (p<0.005).
