Phase Angle at Completion of Cardiac Rehabilitation Predicts Unplanned All-cause Readmission: A Retrospective Cohort Study
By Onishi H, Ogawa M, Honda T and 4 others.
Abstract
Objectives
Phase angle (PhA) reflects cellular integrity and systemic physiological resilience. This study investigated whether PhA measured at the completion of late-recovery-phase cardiac rehabilitation (CR) predicts unplanned all-cause readmission in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), comparing its predictive value with baseline PhA and exercise capacity.
