Key result
Phase III multidisciplinary exercise-based rehabilitation is associated with fewer hospitalizations due to adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease.
Why the study?
Supervised CR sessions are often limited by logistics or reimbursement, but prolonged participation improves peak oxygen uptake and cardiovascular risk factors, prompting investigation into whether prolonged Phase III CR reduces hospitalizations in CAD patients.
Does supervised Phase III multidisciplinary exercise-based cardiovascular rehabilitation reduce hospitalizations due to adverse cardiovascular events in coronary artery disease patients?

Does supervised Phase III multidisciplinary exercise-based cardiovascular rehabilitation reduce hospitalizations due to adverse cardiovascular events in coronary artery disease patients?
Prolonged Phase III multidisciplinary exercise-based rehabilitation is associated with fewer hospitalizations due to adverse cardiovascular events in CAD patients.
Supports CAD care integration of Phase III exercise rehabilitation to reduce hospitalizations; confirms prior trial benefits.
Multidisciplinary exercise-based cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) leads to significant reductions in mortality and risk for adverse cardiovascular events in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.1 As a result, CR is a Class 1A intervention.2 However, in many countries, the number of supervised CR sessions is limited due to logistic issues or reimbursement policies. The peak oxygen uptake of CAD patients, however, continues to increase when the participation in CR is prolonged,3 and additional improvements in blood pressure, lipid profile, and glycaemic control are noticed as a result of prolonged CR.4 We hypothesize that CAD patients may benefit from prolonged (Phase III) CR programmes, evidenced through less hospitalization and/or the prevention of premature death, which has been noticed in heart failure patients.5 The aim of this study is, therefore, to evaluate if supervised Phase III CR in CAD patients leads to greater reductions in hospitalizations, due to adverse...
