Predicting Long-Term Mortality, Morbidity, and Survival Outcomes Following a Cardiac Event A Cardiac Rehabilitation Study

摘要

Background:Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has been shown to decrease mortality and morbidity but estimations vary. While there is significant literature supporting short-term benefits, there is not a similarly body of research as to long-term (LT) benefits. Low participation rates in CR are due to several causes and evidence demonstrating positive LT outcomes could be a catalyst to increased participation rates.
