Why the study?
Although physical activity in cardiac rehabilitation phase II decreases readmissions and mortality, adherence tends to decline several months after completion.
Do interventions designed to maintain or increase physical activity post-cardiac rehabilitation phase II improve physical activity adherence in patients with CAD, MI, CABG, or PCI?
Population
Patients with MI, CABG, CAD, or PCI post-CRII across 19 randomized controlled trials
Comparison
Interventions to maintain or increase physical activity post-CRII vs comparators
Design
Systematic review of 19 randomized control trials
Key result
Interventions offered shortly after phase II cardiac rehabilitation may help patients maintain physical activity, based on a systematic review of 19 randomized controlled trials with varying methods.

May support post-phase II activity maintenance in CAD; extends heterogeneous RCTs but requires standardized trials.
Systematic Review
Do interventions designed to maintain or increase physical activity post-cardiac rehabilitation phase II improve physical activity adherence in patients with CAD, MI, CABG, or PCI?
Interventions implemented shortly after phase II cardiac rehabilitation, particularly those using cognitive-behavioral models, may help patients maintain physical activity, though high-quality standardized trials are needed.
Graham et al. (2020) conducted a systematic review in Myocardial infarction, CABG, CAD, and PCI post-cardiac rehabilitation phase II. Physical activity maintenance interventions was evaluated on Maintenance or increase of physical activity. Interventions offered shortly after phase II cardiac rehabilitation may help patients maintain physical activity, based on a systematic review of 19 randomized controlled trials with varying methods.
