Key result
Hospitalized phase II cardiac rehab links to improved anxiety scores and QoL post-AMI.
Why the study?
The effects of a new 2-week hospitalized phase II cardiac rehabilitation program on physical and psychological status in patients with acute myocardial infarction were unclear.

A 2-week hospitalized phase II cardiac rehabilitation program significantly improves exercise tolerance, lipid profiles, anxiety, and quality of life in patients recovering from acute myocardial infarction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support short hospitalized rehab for post-AMI anxiety and QoL; leaves open causality and durability pending randomized trials.
Yoshida et al. (2001) conducted a cohort in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=114). 2-week hospitalized phase II cardiac rehabilitation program vs. No rehabilitation program (control) and a 4-week rehabilitation program was evaluated on State anxiety score (STAI-I) at 6 months (p=0.0095). A 2-week hospitalized phase II cardiac rehabilitation program significantly improved state anxiety scores (p=0.0095) and quality of life (p=0.001) compared to no rehabilitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
