Recurrent events after AMI • One quarter readmitted in 30 days • 1 of 20 with recurrent AMI in 1 year • How can we risk reduce through care delivery systems? Roe MT et al JACC 2010 Smolina K Circ CQO 2012 Armstrong et al Circulation 1998

Cardiac Rehabilitation • CR a/w lower risk of CV death (RR 0. 74) •

Cardiac Rehabilitation • CR a/w lower risk of CV death (RR 0. 74) • Lower risk of readmission (RR 0. 82) • Randomized data! Anderson L JACC 2016

Cardiac Rehabilitation • Fewer than 2/3 of patients referred (Aragam et al JACC 2015)

Cardiac Rehabilitation • Fewer than 2/3 of patients referred (Aragam et al JACC 2015) • Electronic referrals can double referrals (Pirruccello et al CAD 2017)

Results • Outpatient follow up and routine ED based consultation with cardiology resulted in: Level reduction in 30 day readmission (-9. 8%, p = 0. 002) and 30 day mortality (-2. 6%, p = 0. 041) Trends unchanged
