What is Rehabilitation outcomes following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) about?

This prospective study evaluated the effect of an individualized, comprehensive, home-based cardiac rehabilitation program combining exercise training with risk factor modi®cation and psychosocial counseling on risk factors, psychological wellbeing, functional capacity, and work resumption in 99 post-percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) patients randomized to control (standard care plus telephone follow-up, n 49) or intervention (individualized, comprehensive, home-based cardiac rehabilitation, n 50) groups. Data were collected at time 1 (T 1 ) during hospital admission, time 2 (T 2 ) approximately 2 months post-PCI, and time 3 (T 3 ) approximately 12 months post-PCI. Results suggest that the allocation to an individualized, comprehensive, home-based cardiac rehabilitation program provided more advantageous outcomes. At both follow-ups, the intervention group showed within-group improvement in serum cholesterol levels (P < 0:02; P < 0:01) and exercise participation (P < 0:001; P < 0:001) with differences in exercise participation favoring the intervention group (P < 0:01) at T 2 . Repeated measures ANOVA showed signi®cant improvements over time in body mass index (BMI) (P < 0:
