Key result
The GR-cardio inpatient geriatric rehabilitation program was feasible for older patients with cardiovascular disease, with 83% of patients successfully discharged home and significant improvements observed in functional status and quality of life.

Is an inpatient geriatric rehabilitation program feasible for older patients with functional decline after hospitalization for cardiovascular disease?
An inpatient geriatric rehabilitation program is feasible for older patients with cardiovascular disease and functional decline, potentially improving functional status and quality of life.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Geriatric rehab appears feasible for frail older CVD patients; leaves open whether it boosts cardiac rehab uptake or outcomes in larger trials.
Isselt et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular disease (n=58). GR-cardio programme was evaluated on Feasibility (recruitment, safety, and preliminary evaluation of functional status and HRQoL). The GR-cardio inpatient geriatric rehabilitation program was feasible for older patients with cardiovascular disease, with 83% of patients successfully discharged home and significant improvements observed in functional status and quality of life.
