Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether short-term cardiac rehabilitation (CR), including dietary counseling, had an impact on changing eating habits in patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: The controlled, prospective, nonrandomized study was performed on 44 patients, early following ACS/PCI, who underwent 2- to 3-week inpatient CR with dietary counseling and compared to 18 patients who did not participate in CR. An analysis of the daily diet composition was performed at baseline, at 3 months post-ACS, and at 1 year post-ACS.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the 1-yr follow-up effects of inpatient rehabilitation and its prolongation with an ambulatory training program on blood pressure and metabolic risk factors in patients after an acute coronary syndrome.
Design: A controlled (n = 20) prospective study was undertaken. The study group consisted of 54 consecutive patients participating in a 3-wk inpatient rehabilitation.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac rehabilitation helps people with heart problems, but many don't show up for it after being treated in the hospital.
- The study looked at 72 patients to find out why some went to rehab and others didn't, focusing on their mental health, mood, and life situations.
- Results showed those who attended outpatient rehab were less depressed and had better moods compared to those who skipped it.

Background: Education on behavioural risk factors and lifestyle modification is one of the core components of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation.
Aim: To assess the level of knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors and recommended lifestyle changes in patients rehabilitated after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods: The study group consisted of 31 consecutive patients (22 males, 56.
Background: It has been shown that short-term exercise training improves insulin resistance parameters in patients with ischaemic heart disease. The effects of such a rehabilitation programme in patients with hypertension have not been well established.
Aim: To assess whether short-term endurance training after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may improve metabolic parameters and reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
