Key result
Early regular cardiac rehabilitation starting approximately 14 days after acute myocardial infarction did not adversely affect myocardial remodeling, with left ventricular ejection fraction increasing to 61.58% at 6 months in the exercise group.
Why the study?
Does an early regular cardiac rehabilitation program improve myocardial function in patients who received PCI after acute myocardial infarction?
Population
34 patients who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI)

Absolute Event Rate: 61.58% vs 54.65%
p-value: p=0.09
Early cardiac rehabilitation after AMI and PCI safely improves left ventricular ejection fraction without adverse effects on ventricular remodeling.
Kim et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=34). Early regular cardiac rehabilitation program vs. Basic education on risk factor management was evaluated on Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at 6 months (p=0.09). Early regular cardiac rehabilitation starting approximately 14 days after acute myocardial infarction did not adversely affect myocardial remodeling, with left ventricular ejection fraction increasing to 61.58% at 6 months in the exercise group.
