Key result
Increasing cardiac rehabilitation uptake to a 65% target is highly cost-effective, with justifiable expenditure estimated at £68.4 million per year in England to reduce socioeconomic inequalities.
Why the study?
Cardiac rehabilitation uptake is consistently poor with socioeconomic variation, but there is a paucity of economic evidence evaluating higher participation rates and their relevance to socioeconomic inequality.
Is achieving a 65% uptake target for cardiac rehabilitation cost-effective across different socioeconomic groups?
Population
Patients after admission from acute MI or revascularisation modeled using Cochrane review and national audit data
Comparison
Achieving a cardiac rehabilitation uptake target of 65% across socioeconomic groups
Design

May support scaling cardiac rehabilitation to reduce inequalities; extends modeling evidence but leaves open prospective validation.
Is achieving a 65% uptake target for cardiac rehabilitation cost-effective across different socioeconomic groups?
Increasing cardiac rehabilitation uptake to 65% is highly cost-effective and can reduce socioeconomic inequalities in health outcomes.
Hinde et al. (2019) studied Acute myocardial infarction (MI) or revascularisation. Cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Cost-effectiveness and population health gains. Increasing cardiac rehabilitation uptake to a 65% target is highly cost-effective, with justifiable expenditure estimated at £68.4 million per year in England to reduce socioeconomic inequalities.
