Methods: All AMI patients referred to the Cardiac Health and Rehabilitation Center (CHRC) were informed about CR and followed for 2 years on an outpatient basis from July 2010 to December 2015. Patients who were divided into a CR group and non-CR group. All patients took home-based self-exercise as CR programs of CHRC and in addition, the CR group received hospital-based supervised exercise training three times a week for 2 months. Both groups were evaluated for physical capacity and QOL at baseline, after 2 months of exercise training, and at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years of follow-up. Results: .. View More»
