Hypothesis-generating for LVEF gains with short cardiac rehab; randomized trials needed before clinical adoption in ischemic disease.
José López Aguilera (2015) conducted an observational in Ischemic heart disease (n=110). Cardiac rehabilitation program (phase 2) vs. Baseline (before-after study) was evaluated on Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction (LVEF) (Mean difference 3.69, 95% CI 2.37-5.01, p=0.00). A 2-month phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation program significantly increased left ventricle ejection fraction by a mean of 3.69% compared to baseline in patients with ischemic heart disease.
