Cardiac rehabilitation performance predicts 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac Rehabilitation is an essential following major adverse cardiovascular events however there is no current data correlating rehab performance to long term outcomes.

Hypothesis

Patient exercise performance during cardiac rehabilitation reliably predicts future cardiovascular events.

Methods

We conducted a single-center study of 486 consecutive patients who participated in a CR program between January 2018 and August 2021. We assessed patient performance using a novel index, the CR-score, which integrated duration, speed of work, and workload conducted on each training device (TD). We used a binary recursive partition model to determine the optimal thresholds for cumulative CR score. We used Cox regression analysis to assess the mortality rate among pat
