Importance of Completing Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation for Long-Term Outcomes: A Real-World Evaluation

  Figure 1. Study flow—selection. CR = cardiac rehabilitation, MI = myocardial infarction, HF = heart failure, PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention, CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting.

• 

  Figure 2. Study flow—matching. * The hybrid CR intake date for CR participants and matched “fake” intake date for all matched non-CR participants, ** patients had no subsequent cardiovascular event or procedure (MI, HF, PCI, CABG), *** discharge date from initial cardiac event for CR program participants and non-participants, CR = cardiac rehabilitation, MI = myocardial infarction, HF = heart failure, PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention, CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting.

  Figure 3. Kaplan–Meier curve of the primary outcome. The Kaplan–Meier curve of the primary outcome (composite of death, or re-hospitalization for myocardial infarction (MI), or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or heart failure (HF)) was plotted and logrank test was performed.

  Figure 4. Kaplan–Meier curve of overall survival for sensitivity analysis. The Kaplan–Meier curve for the primary outcome (composite of death, or re-hospitalization for MI, or PCI, or CABG, or HF) was plotted and logrank test was performed, restricting to pairs where CR participants successfully completed (≥0.5 MET exercise capacity increase) and were event free at CR exit.
