Excess mortality in diabetics despite CR attendance warrants caution; extends disparity data but leaves open whether tailored programs improve outcomes.

Are standard cardiac rehabilitation programmes less effective for diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients following myocardial infarction?
Absolute Event Rate: 15.7% vs 5.6%
p-value: p=<0.0001
Standard cardiac rehabilitation programs are less effective for diabetic patients post-MI, who experience higher mortality and lower rates of optimal medical therapy and lifestyle modifications.
Suresh et al. (2001) conducted a cohort in Myocardial infarction (n=1,804). Diabetes mellitus vs. Non-diabetics was evaluated on Mortality at one year (p=<0.0001). Diabetic patients attending standard cardiac rehabilitation following MI had significantly higher one-year mortality compared to non-diabetics (15.7% vs 5.6%, p<0.0001).
