Key result
This commentary critically appraises a network meta-analysis of exercise and non-exercise cardiac rehabilitation programmes for patients with coronary heart disease.
Why the study?
Secondary prevention of adverse cardiovascular events is a major focus in coronary heart disease, and cardiac rehabilitation addresses risk factors via lifestyle modifications.
Do cardiac rehabilitation programmes improve secondary prevention of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease?
Do cardiac rehabilitation programmes improve secondary prevention of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease?
This commentary critically appraises a network meta-analysis on the effectiveness of various cardiac rehabilitation programs for patients with coronary heart disease.
Critical appraisal of cardiac rehabilitation network meta-analysis should not yet change practice; leaves open optimal programme selection for secondary prevention.
Secondary prevention of adverse cardiovascular events is a major focus in the care of patients with coronary heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation aims to address patient risk factors through lifestyle modifications, such as increased physical activity and dietary modification. This commentary evaluates and critically appraises a network meta-analysis of cardiac rehabilitation programmes, including exercise and non-exercise approaches, for patients with coronary heart disease.
