Key result
Intensive cardiac rehabilitation increased peak VO2 by 18% (P<0.05) and significantly improved global longitudinal strain and diastolic function compared to counselling alone (P<0.02).

Does cardiac rehabilitation with physical training improve echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular function in patients after a first uncomplicated myocardial infarction?
p-value: p=<0.02
A brief period of intensive cardiac rehabilitation improves subclinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients after an uncomplicated first myocardial infarction.
Malfatto et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Uncomplicated first acute myocardial infarction (n=55). Cardiac rehabilitation with counselling and physical training vs. Counselling program without physical training was evaluated on Global strain (GS%), E/e', left ventricular elastance (KLV), LVEF, and wall motion score index (WMSI) (p=<0.02). Intensive cardiac rehabilitation increased peak VO2 by 18% (P<0.05) and significantly improved global longitudinal strain and diastolic function compared to counselling alone (P<0.02).
