Advertisement

  1. Protocol: Activity restrictions
    1. Gradually increase activity over 6-8 weeks post-MI
    2. Return to work by 8 weeks after MI
    3. Activity program may start by 3-4 weeks after MI
    4. Sexual activity restarted at 4-6 weeks after MI
      1. See Sexual Intercourse after Myocardial Infarction
  2. Efficacy
    1. Swedish Study of Cardiac Rehabilitation
      1. Patients were over 65 with MI (n=192)
      2. Rehabilitation program instituted
        1. Education and counseling
        2. Home visits
        3. Low intensity Exercise
      3. Effect
        1. Reduced re-hospitalization
          1. First 3 months (13% versus 29%)
          2. First year (32% versus 47%)
        2. Reduced unplanned ER visits
          1. ER visits were more appropriate in Rehab group
