Structured diabetes care routines in cardiac rehabilitation are associated with increased diabetes detection and improved treatment after myocardial infarction: a nationwide observational study

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Despite the detrimental impact of abnormal glucose metabolism on cardiovascular prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI), diabetes is both underdiagnosed and undertreated. We investigated associations betwee.

Retrospective Comparison of Outcomes and Cost of Virtual Versus Center‐Based Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundDespite robust evidence supporting an association with improved outcomes in eligible patients, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) remains underused, with a minority of eligible patients participating. Virtual cardiac rehabilitation (VCR) has been proposed as an alternative to traditional centerbased CR (CBCR) to improve usage rates.
