Key result
Early rehabilitation therapy significantly improved 6-minute walk distance by a mean difference of 85.64 compared to the control group in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Why the study?
Primary PCI is the chief treatment for AMI, but documentation on the effectiveness of early rehabilitation therapy after PCI is lacking.
Does early rehabilitation therapy improve functional capacity, LVEF, and BMI in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention?

Supports early post-PCI rehabilitation to enhance functional capacity; confirms benefits across aggregated trials.
Meta-Analysis (n=858)
Does early rehabilitation therapy improve functional capacity, LVEF, and BMI in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention?
Mean Difference: 85.64 (95% CI 78.68–92.6)
p-value: p=<0.01
Early rehabilitation therapy after PCI significantly improves functional capacity, cardiac function, and BMI.
Budiarta et al. (2022) conducted a meta-analysis in Acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (n=858). Early rehabilitation therapy vs. Control group was evaluated on 6-minute walk distance (MD 85.64, 95% CI 78.68-92.60, p=<0.01). Early rehabilitation therapy significantly improved 6-minute walk distance by a mean difference of 85.64 compared to the control group in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.
