Structured PICO

Does multidomain rehabilitation improve outcomes in older patients with myocardial infarction and impaired physical performance?

P
Population
Older patients with myocardial infarction and impaired physical performance
I
Intervention
Multidomain rehabilitation (integrating structured physical activity, nutrition, psychosocial support, and comprehensive risk management)

This commentary highlights the need for multidomain rehabilitation strategies tailored to older, frail patients following myocardial infarction.

Limitations

  • Previous pilot trials were underpowered to assess hard clinical outcomes, such as mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations.
