May support inpatient CR for obese CHD patients; extends evidence but leaves open need for RCTs.

Does a four-week multi-factorial inpatient cardiac rehabilitation programme improve exercise capacity, BMI, and psychological well-being in obese in-patients with coronary heart disease?
p-value: p=<0.001
A four-week multi-disciplinary inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program significantly improves functional exercise capacity, BMI, and psychological well-being in obese patients with CHD.
Manzoni et al. (2011) conducted an observational in obese in-patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) (n=176). multi-factorial inpatient cardiac rehabilitation programme was evaluated on exercise capacity (METs), body mass index (BMI) and psychological well-being (PGWBI) (p=<0.001). A four-week multi-disciplinary cardiac rehabilitation programme significantly increased exercise capacity by 30.3% (p<0.001) and decreased BMI by 1.37 points (p<0.001) in obese in-patients with CHD.
