Key result
Younger age (<50 years) was strongly associated with increased participation in cardiac rehabilitation compared to older age (>70 years) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (OR 7.0).

Low CR uptake in elderly patients warrants targeted referral awareness; observational data leaves open whether interventions boost participation.

Only a minority (39%) of AMI patients treated with pPCI participate in cardiac rehabilitation, with elderly, women, and low socio-economic status patients being particularly underrepresented, highlighting the need for targeted awareness and referral strategies.
Sunamura et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (n=3,871). Age <50 years vs. Age >70 years was evaluated on Cardiac rehabilitation participation (registration within 6 months after pPCI) (OR 7.0, 95% CI 5.1-9.6, p=<0.001). Younger age (<50 years) was strongly associated with increased participation in cardiac rehabilitation compared to older age (>70 years) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (OR 7.0).
