Abstract 17716: Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Following Myocardial Infarction Improves Clinical Outcomes Regardless of Exercise Capacity in a Long-Term Follow-Up

Abstract only Background: Reduced exercise capacity is recognized as a prognostic indicator of adverse outcomes in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). However, there is limited research evaluating the effectiveness of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in this population. Here, we show...

Description
Summary:Abstract only Background: Reduced exercise capacity is recognized as a prognostic indicator of adverse outcomes in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). However, there is limited research evaluating the effectiveness of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in this population. Here, we show for the first time that participation in CR can improve the prognosis of MI patients with reduced exercise capacity in a long-term study. Methods: This cohort study included 610 consecutive patients with MI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 2008 and 2015. Patients who received supervised CR were divided into two groups according to the duration of CR: the non-CR group (only hospitalization) and the CR group (continued to outpatient-CR). Within the CR group, patients were further divided into a reduced exercise capacity group (% predicted peak VO2
