Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for coronary heart disease: the CaReMATCH individual participant data meta-analysis
Our IPD meta-analysis, reflecting trials published since 2010, highlighted that contemporary ExCR is effective in reducing risk of hospitalization and improving HRQoL in those with CHD. Importantly, we reveal treatment benefits to be robust and consistent across most participant subgroups. Together, these data support the class I recommendation of international clinical guidelines that ExCR should be offered to all people with CHD.
