Effect of in-patient cardiac rehabilitation at rehabilitation hospital for cardiology patients: two-center trial

Abstract The effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients with cardiovascular disease requiring continuous CR from an acute care hospital to a convalescent rehabilitation hospital is unknown. Therefore, we compared the effect of CR in a rehabilitation hospital for patients with cardiovascular disease with that of those who underwent cardiovascular surgery. Sixty-nine consecutive patients were admitted to two rehabilitation hospitals for CR. Patients were classified by primary disease into two groups: patients with cardiovascular disease (cardiology group, 26 patients) and patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery (surgery group, 43 patients). Clinical information, physical function, cognitive function, activities of daily living (ADL), quality of life (QOL), amount of CR, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Compared with clinical features, age was significantly higher in the cardiology group (P < 0.001), and the preadmission Barthel index was significantly lower in the cardiology group (P = 0.025). Physical function at the time of transfer was significantly lower in the cardiology group than in the surgery group for the short physical performance battery (P < 0.001), gait speed (P = 0.005), and 6-min walking distance (P = 0.042). No significant difference was found in the amount of CR performed or the length of hospital stay, and no interaction effects were observed in improvements in physical function, exercise tolerance, or QOL. In conclusion, in rehabilitation hospitals, patients with cardiovascular disease were older, had lower preadmission ADL, and had lower a physical function at transfer than those who underwent cardiovascular surgery, but CR improved physical function and QOL to the same extent. The results suggest that the recovery of patients with cardiovascular disease may be similar to those who undergo cardiovascular surgery..
