Key Result

Prehabilitation before cardiac procedures may enhance preprocedural functional capacity and postprocedural recovery, particularly in women.

Key Points

To investigate whether prehabilitation improves functional capacity and recovery in patients undergoing cardiac procedures, with a focus on women.
Analyzed prehabilitation interventions prior to cardiac procedures.
Evaluated functional capacity pre- and post-procedure.
Considered recovery outcomes across multiple centers.
Prehabilitation enhanced preprocedural functional capacity.
Improved postprocedural recovery was particularly noted in women.
Findings suggest a need for further multicenter studies.

Structured PICO

Does prehabilitation improve preprocedural functional capacity and postprocedural recovery in patients undergoing cardiac procedures?

Population

Patients undergoing cardiac procedures, particularly women

Intervention

Prehabilitation before cardiac procedures

Outcome

Preprocedural functional capacity and postprocedural recovery

Prehabilitation may improve functional capacity and recovery for patients undergoing cardiac procedures, though further multicenter evidence is required.

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%

Abstract

Prehabilitation before cardiac procedures may enhance preprocedural functional capacity and postprocedural recovery, particularly in women. Further multicenter studies are needed.
