Abstract

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Amongst a myriad of treatments, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is one of the non-invasive interventions implemented to reduce re-hospitalizations and mortality related to cardiovascular disease. CR is largely underutilized, however, with only 20-30% participation1 Current ACC guidelines recommend patients who have experienced an Acute myocardial infarction ( AMI) to participate in CR within the year of the cardiovascular event. However, further specification for AMI type 2 participation compared to type 1 is not as clear.
