Why the study?
What patient and disease characteristics are associated with return to work and work performance 7 months after an acute myocardial infarction?
What patient and disease characteristics are associated with return to work and work performance 7 months after an acute myocardial infarction?
Nearly a quarter of patients employed prior to an acute myocardial infarction do not return to work at 7 months, with prior cardiac disease and poor physical function being key predictors.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant vocational support for post-MI patients with prior cardiac disease or poor function; leaves open whether interventions improve return-to-work rates.
