Cardiac rehabilitation services are mostly underutilized despite the documentation of substantial morbidity and mortality benefits of cardiac rehabilitation post-acute myocardial infarction. To assess the implementation rate and barriers to cardiac rehabilitation in hospitals dealing with acute myocardial infarction in South Korea, between May and July 2016, questionnaires were emailed to cardiology directors of 93 hospitals in South Korea; all hospitals were certified institutes for coronary interventions. The questionnaires included 16 questions on the hospital type, cardiology practice, and implementation of cardiac rehabilitation. The obtained data were categorized into two groups based on the type of the hospital (secondary or tertiary) and statistically analysed. Of the 72 hospitals that responded (response rate of 77%), 39 (54%) were tertiary medical centers and 33 (46%) were secondary medical centers. All hospitals treated acute myocardial infarction patients and performed emergency percutaneous coronary intervention; 79% (57/72) of the hospitals performed coronary artery bypass grafting. However, the rate of implementation of cardiac rehabilitation was low overall (28%, 20/72 hospitals) and even lower in secondary medical centers (12%, 4/33 hospitals) than in tertiary centers (41%, 16/39 hospitals, p = 0.002). The major barriers to cardiac rehabilitation included the lack of staff (59%) and lack of space (33%). In contrast to the wide availability of acute-phase invasive treatment for AMI, the overall implementation of cardiac rehabilitation is extremely poor in South Korea. Considering the established benefits of cardiac rehabilitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction, more administrative support, such as increasing the fee for cardiac rehabilitation services by an appropriate level of health insurance coverage should be warranted.

Regional Cardiocerebrovascular Centers (RCCs)—a Korean government initiative—seek to reduce medical gaps across regions, and their cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs are expected to model post-acute care for the Korean CR program. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the current status of CR programs in the RCCs. We distributed surveys on the CR condition, activity, and barriers to 12 RCCs in different provinces. The results revealed significant gaps in the annual number of acute myocardial infarction admissions, and CR candidates, capacity, and density across the 12 RCCs. The CR capacity (50–500) and density (0.42–7.36) indicated particularly large gaps. Twelve RCCs had the necessary facilities, equipment and personnel for CR assessments and management, with high CR referral (97%) and patient education (78%) rates. However, the inpatient CR exercise training (56%) participation rate was inadequate, with much lower enrollment (47%) and adherence (17%) rates to the outpatient CR program and large differences across centers. Therefore, this study’s results will provide the evidence required to establish special national health strategies to overcome the CR barriers of patient, doctor/hospital, and policy factors for activating Korean CR programs.

OBJECTIVES To determine clinical outcome and to nd out the association between participation of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in cardiac rehabilitation programme. DESIGN A Prospective observational study. STUDY AREA : Department of Cardiology, Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research,Kolkata. PARTICIPANTS: Patients aged ≥18 years who underwent PCI due to AMI. OUTCOME MEASURES The outcomes were subsequent myocardial infarction, revascularisation, all-cause readmission, cardiac readmission, all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality. RESULT: The data of 1107 patients were included and 60.07%% of them participated in CR program. The risks of revascularisation, all cause readmission and cardiac readmission among CR participants were compared. The results of those analysis were consistent and showed that the CR participants had lower allcause mortality ,cardiac mortality,all cause readmission, cardiac admission. However no effect was observed for subsequent myocardial infarction or revascularisation. CONCLUSIONS: It was suggested CR participation may reduce the risk of all-cause mortality ,cardiac mortality, all cause readmission and cardiac admission.

Abstract Background Cardiovascular diseases are still the main cause of death in the western world. However, diminishing mortality rates of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are motivating the need to investigate the process of stationary and ambulatory secondary prevention after AMI. Besides cardiac rehabilitation, disease management programs (DMPs) are an important component of outpatient care after AMI in Germany. This study aims to analyze outcomes after AMI among those who participated in DMPs and stationary cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in a region with overall increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Methods: On the basis of data from a regional myocardial infarction registry and a 2-years follow up period, we assessed the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in relation to participation in CR and DMP, risk factors for complications and individual health, and lifestyle characteristics. Multivariable Cox regression was performed to compare survival time until an adverse event occurred.Results Out of 1,094 observed patients AMI, 272 were enrolled in a DMP. A weak association between DMP participation and hazard rates for MACE compared to non-enrollees was found in the crude model (hazard ratio = 0.93; 95% confidence interval = 0.65–1.33). When adjusted for possible confounders, this difference disappeared (1.03; 0.72–1.48). Furthermore, smokers and obese patients showed a distinctly lower chance of DMP enrollment. In contrast, participants of CR showed a lower risk for MACE in crude (0.52; 0.41–0.65) and adjusted analysis (0.56; 0.44–0.71).Conclusions Participation in DMP was not associated with a lower risk of MACE, while CR showed beneficial effects. Adjustment only slightly changed effect estimates in both cases, still potential effects of confounding need to be considered.
