Key result
Cardiac rehabilitation after PCI reduced total cardiovascular events (0.93 vs 1.52 events/patient) and total health care costs (4,862 vs 5,498 Euro/patient) over 4.5 years compared to no rehabilitation.

Does multidisciplinary, hospital-based, ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation reduce cardiovascular events and health-related costs in patients after PCI?
Absolute Event Rate: 0.93% vs 1.52%
Cardiac rehabilitation after PCI reduces long-term cardiac events and provides cost savings from a healthcare payer perspective.
Dendale et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=213). Multidisciplinary, hospital-based, ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation vs. No cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Total cardiovascular events per patient. Cardiac rehabilitation after PCI reduced total cardiovascular events (0.93 vs 1.52 events/patient) and total health care costs (4,862 vs 5,498 Euro/patient) over 4.5 years compared to no rehabilitation.
