Key result
Participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program after PCI was associated with significantly reduced all-cause mortality (19.5% vs 48.4%; OR 0.455; 95% CI 0.295-0.701; p<0.001).
Why the study?
Short and medium-term benefits of cardiac rehabilitation after AMI are established, but data on the very long-term benefits after PCI are scarce.
Does cardiac rehabilitation phase II reduce very long-term mortality and morbidity in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention?
Population
701 patients undergoing PCI between 2004 and 2011 at one hospital
Comparison
Participation in a phase II cardiac rehabilitation program vs non-participation
Design
Retrospective cohort study
Follow-up
Median 11 years

May support CR referral post-PCI; extends observational data but leaves open causality without RCTs.

Participation in a phase II cardiac rehabilitation program after PCI is associated with significantly lower very long-term all-cause and cardiac mortality, as well as reduced heart failure hospitalizations and stroke.
Escamez et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=701). Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program phase II vs. Refused to participate in CR program was evaluated on All-cause mortality (OR 0.455, 95% CI 0.295-0.701, p=<0.001). Participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program after PCI was associated with significantly reduced all-cause mortality (19.5% vs 48.4%; OR 0.455; 95% CI 0.295-0.701; p<0.001).
