This systematic review protocol outlines the planned evaluation of expanded cardiac rehabilitation compared to standard cardiac rehabilitation in adult patients with coronary heart disease.
Systematic Review
Does expanded cardiac rehabilitation improve mortality, readmissions, and risk factors compared to standard cardiac rehabilitation in adult patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease?
This systematic review protocol outlines the plan to evaluate whether expanded cardiac rehabilitation improves clinical and surrogate outcomes compared to standard rehabilitation in CHD patients.
REVIEW OBJECTIVE/QUESTION: The objective of this review is to identify the effectiveness of expanded cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD). Specifically, the review question is: What is the effectiveness of expanded CR compared to standard CR in adult patients diagnosed with CHD? Effectiveness will be assessed by the effect on mortality and readmissions due to all causes or any cardiac event, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol levels and adherence to recommendations in secondary prevention guidelines.
Momsen et al. (Wed,) conducted a systematic review in Coronary heart disease. Expanded cardiac rehabilitation vs. Standard cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Mortality and readmissions due to all causes or any cardiac event, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol levels and adherence to recommendations in secondary prevention guidelines. This systematic review protocol outlines the planned evaluation of expanded cardiac rehabilitation compared to standard cardiac rehabilitation in adult patients with coronary heart disease.
