Plain-language summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a FCEM-focused hybrid CR program for survivors of myocardial infarction (MI). The study sought to compare the long-term impact of FCEM-based intervention with a standard CR program in terms of mortality rates and different aspects of health related quality of life (HRQoL), which includes soft outcomes such as levels of stress, anxiety, psychological distress, quality of life (QoL), and hard outcomes such as the percentage of ejection fraction (EF), independent functioning, and functional exercise capacity status.
