Effects of Exercise-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation on Risk Factors, Fitness, and Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Emergency Department Versus Outpatient Routes.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Hospital visits for the treatment of coronary heart disease primarily consist of routine outpatient (OP) or unscheduled emergency room (ER) visits. This study compared the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) based on the routes of hospital visits after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Only men who completed three CR center visits (baseline, 6 months, 12 months) during the 12 months after PCI were analyzed. A total of 300 male patients were analyzed, with 206 patients in the OP group and 94 in the ER group, and their socioeconomic status, blood lipids, blood pressure, volume of oxygen peak (VO₂ peak), physical activity, and quality of life (QoL) were compared. This study is a retrospective analysis. Results: T
