Alejandro González Veliz: Why Recovery After Myocardial Infarction Does Not End at Discharge

Alejandro González Veliz, Interventional Cardiologist at Institute of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Yasunori Suematsu et al., published in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, adding:

“Surviving a myocardial infarction is only the beginning.

This large multicenter study of more than 4,400 patients showed that cardiac rehabilitation significantly improves long-term outcomes after MI.

Inpatient cardiac rehabilitation reduced:

  • Major cardiovascular events by 25%
  • All-cause mortality by 28%

And when rehabilitation continued after discharge:

  • Major cardiovascular events fell by 36%
  • Mortality decreased by 42%
  • Cardiovascular readmissions dropped by 35%

The message is simple:

Opening the artery saves the heart. Cardiac rehabilitation helps save the future.

Every patient recovering from MI deserves the opportunity to participate in a comprehensive rehabilitation program.”
