Just read the latest from NEJM? The PIpELINe Trial 🇮🇹 changes how we approach cardiac rehab in older adults post-MI! 🧓❤️
🎯 A 12-month, multidomain intervention — risk factor control, nutrition 🥗, and Otago-based exercise 👟 — cut CV death/hospitalization from 20.6% → 12.6% (P=0.01)!
📉 Hospitalizations for heart failure dropped 7.1% → 1.5%. No serious adverse events. And yes — better gait speed, handgrip strength, and quality of life too.
This is how we shift from survival ➡️ functional independence in aging populations. 🙌
