Gait Speed. Grip Strength. Greater Life. 🦵🤝🌟 A Paradigm Shift in Cardiovascular Recovery for Seniors

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. 🙌 👇 Would you apply this model to your older patients post-MI? #CardioRehab #AgingWell #NEJM
