Acute coronary syndromes: morbidity, mortality, and pharmacoeconomic burden.
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.
