Key result
Cardiac rehabilitation programs are multidisciplinary interventions that improve cardiovascular health and quality of life after myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery, though participation remains low.
Cardiac rehabilitation is a crucial multidisciplinary intervention that significantly reduces mortality and improves quality of life after myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery, yet it remains significantly underutilized.
Mortality benefit of cardiac rehabilitation is reaffirmed; leaves open effective strategies to increase participation among eligible patients.
Cardiovascular disease remains the most frequent cause of death globally. Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or have undergone cardiac surgery are prime candidates for applying to cardiac rehabilitation programs. Cardiac rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary, systemic approach to implementing secondary prevention therapies of known beneficial effects.
