Key result
An 8-week cardiac rehabilitation program improved maximal oxygen consumption from 13.5 to 19.4 mL/kg/min and left ventricular ejection fraction from 14% to 19% in a patient with advanced dilated cardiomyopathy.

Does an 8-week cardiac rehabilitation program improve functional capacity and LVEF in a patient with advanced dilated cardiomyopathy?
Absolute Event Rate: 19.4% vs 13.5%
An 8-week cardiac rehabilitation program improved maximal oxygen consumption, LVEF, and perceived exertion in a patient with advanced dilated cardiomyopathy resuscitated from cardiac arrest.
Kim et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Advanced Dilated Cardiomyopathy (n=1). Cardiac rehabilitation program vs. Baseline (pre-intervention) was evaluated on Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). An 8-week cardiac rehabilitation program improved maximal oxygen consumption from 13.5 to 19.4 mL/kg/min and left ventricular ejection fraction from 14% to 19% in a patient with advanced dilated cardiomyopathy.
