🫀 Post-MI Cardiac Rehabilitation Simulator

Smoking Cessation Lever

Quitting smoking is the single highest-yield lever after MI.

• 0–12wk: Relapse window (placeholder metric)
• ~36%: Risk reduction (placeholder estimate)
• Varenicline: Support method (placeholder therapy)
• Weekly: Counseling (placeholder cadence)

Cessation pharmacotherapy and counseling

Combines pharmacologic and behavioral support to prevent relapse.

Exercise Adherence Lever

Supervised aerobic training restores functional capacity over weeks.

• 3: Sessions/wk (placeholder schedule)
• +2–4: METs gain (placeholder range)
• >75%: Adherence target (placeholder goal)
• 12wk: Program length (placeholder duration)

Progressive aerobic conditioning

Intensity ramps gradually under monitored supervision.

Diet Quality Lever

Diet quality shifts inflammatory and metabolic risk markers.

• Mediterranean: Pattern (placeholder diet type)
• <2g/day: Sodium target (placeholder target)
• 30g/day: Fiber goal (placeholder target)
• Monthly: Review (placeholder cadence)

Nutrition counseling protocol

Dietitian-guided adjustments support lipid and glycemic control.

Lipid Control Lever

Statin intensity and adherence drive LDL toward target.

• <70mg/dL: LDL target (placeholder target)
• High-intensity: Statin class (placeholder therapy)
• 6wk: Recheck (placeholder interval)
• Ezetimibe: Add-on (placeholder option)

Lipid-lowering titration

Therapy escalates stepwise until target LDL is reached.

Combined Functional Recovery Trajectory

All four levers blend into one 12-week recovery curve.

• 4: Levers combined (placeholder count)
• 12wk: Horizon (placeholder timeline)
• ~10: Best-case METs (placeholder ceiling)
• Composite: Model type (placeholder label)

Composite recovery modeling

Weighted lever inputs project a single functional recovery curve.

Higher adherence and risk-factor scores compound into faster, higher-plateau recovery.
