Systematic Review
Does cardiac rehabilitation improve cognitive function in elderly patients with myocardial infarction?
Cardiac rehabilitation programs are associated with notable cognitive improvements in elderly patients following a myocardial infarction, highlighting an additional benefit for secondary prevention.
Zergaw et al. (2024) conducted a systematic review in Myocardial Infarction. Cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Cognitive function. Cardiac rehabilitation programs demonstrated notable cognitive improvements among elderly patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction.
