The Latest Research
Traditional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves cardiovascular outcomes and reduces mortality, but less is known about the relative benefit of intensive cardiac rehab (ICR), which incorporates greater lifestyle education through 72 sessions. This retrospective cohort study of Medicare Fee-For-Service beneficiaries found that ICR was associated with 12% lower all-cause mortality when compared with CR.
