Key result
A 3-week exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program significantly improved peak VO2 from 18.17 to 20.64 ml/kg/min (p<0.001) in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with pPCI.

Does a very short-term (3-week) inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program improve cardiopulmonary exercise testing parameters in patients with acute MI treated with pPCI?
Absolute Event Rate: 20.64% vs 18.17%
p-value: p=<0.001
A very short-term (3-week) inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program is safe and significantly improves functional capacity and exercise tolerance in patients following acute MI treated with primary PCI.
Spiroski et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (n=40). Very short-term exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program vs. Baseline (pre-rehabilitation) was evaluated on Peak VO2 (ml/kg/min) (p=<0.001). A 3-week exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program significantly improved peak VO2 from 18.17 to 20.64 ml/kg/min (p<0.001) in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with pPCI.
