Three Weeks of Inpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation Improves Metabolic Exercise Data Combined With Cardiac and Kidney Indexes Scores for Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has a high mortality rate, and cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRP) reduce HFrEF rehospitalization and mortality rates. Some countries attempt 3 weeks of inpatient CRP (3w In-CRP) for cardiac diseases. However, whether 3w In-CRP reduces the prognostic parameter of the Metabolic Exercise data combined with Cardiac and Kidney Indexes (MECKI) score is unknown.

Improved Peak Oxygen Uptake Reduces Cardiac Events After 3 Weeks of Inpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation for Chronic Heart Failure Patients.

The incidence of heart failure (HF) is increasing, and the mortality from HF remains high in an aging society. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs (CRP) increase oxygen uptake (V̇O) and reduce HF rehospitalization and mortality. Therefore, CR is recommended for every HF patient.
