Meta-analysis: secondary prevention programs for patients with coronary artery disease.
Clark AM, Hartling L, Vandermeer B, McAlister FA
Ann Intern Med - 2005
Meta-analysis included 11 randomized trials of 2285 patients with coronary disease (most but not all post-MI) who were assigned to exercise rehabilitation or usual care. Exercise was associated with a significant 28 percent reduction in all-cause mortality. There was also a possible, but nonsignificant, 24 percent reduction in recurrent MI in the exercise rehabilitation group. Importance of exercise is reflected in this app.

A higher-quality diet was associated with a lower risk of recurrent CVD events among peopleā„55 years of age with CVD or diabetes mellitus. Highlighting the importance of healthy eating by health professionals would substantially reduce CVD recurrence and save lives globally.
This finding is reflected in this app.

Home- and centre-based cardiac rehabilitation appear to be equally effective in improving the clinical and health-related quality of life outcomes in acute MI and revascularisation patients. This finding, together with an absence of evidence of difference in healthcare costs between the two approaches, would support the extension of home-based cardiac rehabilitation programmes which may have an impact on uptake of cardiac rehabilitation in the individual case.
