Supervised exercise did not significantly reduce cardiac or all-cause readmissions; extends evidence on reduced ER visits, functional gains, and work return.

Santaularia et al. (2013) conducted an RCT in Myocardial ischemia (n=292). Supervised exercise training program vs. Standard care was evaluated on Percentage of patients readmitted, total number of readmissions, length of hospitalization for cardiac disease, and time to first hospital admission for cardiac disease during the first year. A supervised exercise training program is being evaluated in a planned randomized clinical trial to determine its efficacy in reducing cardiac readmissions among patients with myocardial ischemia.
