Cardiac rehabilitation participation is associated with a significant long-term survival benefit in patients undergoing combined heart valve and CABG surgery.
Goel et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Combined heart valve and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (n=201). Cardiac rehabilitation vs. No cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Long-term mortality (HR 0.48, p=0.009). Cardiac rehabilitation participation after combined heart valve and CABG surgery was associated with a significant reduction in long-term mortality (HR 0.48; P=0.009, ARR 14.5%).
