Key result
Continuation of phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation significantly reduced fat mass and body weight at 4 months after discharge compared to non-continuation in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Does phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation improve body composition in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Cohort (n=171)
No
Does phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation improve body composition in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Absolute Event Rate: 13.8% vs 16.3%
p-value: p=<0.05
May support continued phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation post-AMI for body composition; hypothesis-generating and requires larger randomized confirmation.

Kato et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=171). Phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation vs. Non-rehabilitation (phase 2 cardiac rehab non-continuation) was evaluated on Fat mass at 4 months after discharge (kg) (p=<0.05). Continuation of phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation significantly reduced fat mass and body weight at 4 months after discharge compared to non-continuation in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
