Key Points Question Among veterans with ischemic heart disease, do the morbidity and mortality benefits associated with participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program differ between Veterans Affairs (VA) (delivered care) vs non-VA (purchased care) settings? Findings In this cohort study of 7320 US veterans, rates of 1-year mortality and 1-year readmission for myocardial infarction or revascularization did not differ for participants in VA vs non-VA cardiac rehabilitation programs. Meaning These findings suggest that participation in VA vs non-VA cardiac rehabilitation programs is associated with similar 1-year benefits for morbidity and mortality.
