Most patients return to work after cardiac rehabilitation, with predictors including younger age and better quality of life. Early identification of those at risk for not returning to work is crucial.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Cardiac rehabilitation is essential for patients post-cardiac events.
  • Understanding return to work is vital for patient recovery and economic impact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively determine return to work rates after cardiac rehabilitation.
  • To identify predictors of successful return to work in this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study enrolling 2441 patients from 18 cardiac rehabilitation centers.
  • Data collected on patient demographics, employment status, quality of life, and exercise ECG results.

Main Results:

  • 43% of patients were employed pre-event; 65% returned to work at 6 months, 67% at 12 months.

  • Younger age, non-manual work, self-employment, higher quality of life, and better exercise ECG predicted return to work at 12 months.

    • Conclusions:

    • Return to work is influenced by sociodemographic factors, quality of life, and exercise capacity.
    • Identifying early predictors can help target interventions for patients at risk of failing to return to work.
