2019, Clinics in Geriatric MedicineCitation Excerpt :CR has been reported to improve the prevalence of and symptoms of depression by 50% to 70%, similar to that of antidepressant medications.18 Milani and Lavie18 studied 522 consecutive patients with CVD enrolled in CR, with a mean age of 64 years. They found that the prevalence of depression decreased 63% after CR completion, from 17% to 6% (P<.0001).

2016, Canadian Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The association between depression and CHD is complex, but lower physical activity is considered a key mediator.36 A study of CR in patients aged ≥ 65 years showed that depressed patients had lower levels of exercise capacity and quality of life at baseline compared with nondepressed patients, but they improved their exercise capacity similarly and increased their quality of life more than nondepressed patients.37 Patients were also significantly less likely to be depressed after CR.37
