Cardiac Rehabilitation Cuts Hospital Admissions and Heart Attack Risk

Researchers found exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation cut heart attacks 28% and hospital admissions 35%, with home and digital programs matching center-based care.

Summary by Medical Xpress
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduces hospital admissions by a third and heart attack risk by more than a quarter, as well as remaining beneficial in the long term, a new Cochrane review finds. The evidence also suggests that newer home-based and digitally supported cardiac rehabilitation programs can be just as effective as traditional center-based services. The work is published in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.
