Exercise-based rehabilitation for patients with coronary heart disease: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted in this paper, showing that cardiac rehabilitation was associated with reduced all-cause mortality (odds ratio [OR] = 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68 to 0.93).
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for coronary heart disease

TL;DR: The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of exercise-based CR (exercise training alone or in combination with psychosocial or educational interventions) compared with usual care on mortality, morbidity and HRQL in patients with CHD was assessed.
Reference EntryDOI

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for coronary heart disease (Review)

TL;DR: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is effective in reducing total and cardiovascular mortality and hospital admissions but not total MI or revascularisation (CABG or PTCA); despite inclusion of more recent trials, the population studied in this review is still predominantly male, middle aged and low risk.
Reference EntryDOI

Exercise-based rehabilitation for coronary heart disease

TL;DR: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is effective in reducing cardiac deaths, but it is not clear from this review whether exercise only or a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation intervention is more beneficial.
