Key result
A 3-week stationary early cardiac rehabilitation program significantly reduced Beck Depression Inventory scores from 14.55 to 8.28 (p<0.001) in patients after coronary revascularization.
Why the study?
The coexistence of depression and anxiety worsens treatment outcomes and increases recurrent cardiovascular risk, but the effect of cardiac rehabilitation on these symptoms required assessment.

May alleviate post-revascularization depression; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Does 3-week stationary early cardiac rehabilitation improve anxiety and depression symptoms in patients after coronary revascularization?
Absolute Event Rate: 8.28% vs 14.55%
p-value: p=<0.001
Early 3-week stationary cardiac rehabilitation significantly reduces anxiety and depression symptoms in patients following coronary revascularization.
Poliwczak et al. (2021) studied Patients after interventional cardiology for ACS or urgent CABG (n=40). Stationary early cardiac rehabilitation vs. Baseline (pre-rehabilitation) was evaluated on Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score (p=<0.001). A 3-week stationary early cardiac rehabilitation program significantly reduced Beck Depression Inventory scores from 14.55 to 8.28 (p<0.001) in patients after coronary revascularization.
