Supports safety of early monitored cardiac rehab; leaves open generalizability pending randomized trials.
Observational (n=975)
No
Early hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation with intensive ECG monitoring is highly safe, with no fatal cardiovascular events occurring over 13,934 patient-hours of exercise.
Kim et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Cardiac disease (post-PTCA, CABG, AMI) (n=975). Early hospital-based monitoring exercise was evaluated on Fatal cardiovascular complications (death, cardiac arrest, or acute myocardial infarction) during exercise. Early hospital-based monitoring exercise for cardiac rehabilitation was safe, with no deaths, cardiac arrests, or acute myocardial infarctions occurring during 13,934 patient-hours of exercise.
