Background  The purpose of this study was to analyze cardiopulmonary fitness in Phase I cardiac rehabilitation on the prognosis of patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).    Methods  The study enrolled a total of 499 STEMI patients treated with PCI between January 2015 and December 2015. Patients were assigned to individualized exercise prescriptions (IEP) group and non-individualized exercise prescriptions (NIEP) group according to whether they accept or refuse individualized exercise prescriptions. We compared the incidence of major cardiovascular events between the two groups. IEP group were further divided into two subgroups based on prognosis status, namely good prognosis (GP) group and poor prognosis (PP) group. Key cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPX) variables that may affect the prognosis of patients were identified through comparison of the cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF).    Results  There is no significant difference in the incidence of cardio-genetic death, re-hospitalization, heart failure, stroke, or atrial fibrillation between the IEP and the NIEP group. But the incidence of total major adverse cardiac events (MACE) was significantly lower in the IEP group than in the NIEP group ( P  = 0.039). The oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) at ventilation threshold (VT), minute CO 2  ventilation (E-VCO 2 ), margin of minute ventilation carbon dioxide production (△CO 2 ) ,  rest partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide(R-P ET CO 2 ), exercise partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide(E-P ET CO 2 ) and margin of partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide(△P ET CO 2 ) were significantly higher in the GP subgroup than in the PP subgroup; and the slope for minute ventilation/carbon dioxide production (V E /VCO 2 ) was significantly lower in GP subgroup than in PP subgroup ( P  = 0.010). The VO 2  at VT, V E /VCO 2  slope, E-VCO 2 , △CO 2 , R-P ET CO 2 , E-P ET CO 2  and margin of partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide CO 2  (△P ET CO 2 ) were predictive of adverse events. The VO 2  at VT was an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease prognosis.    Conclusions  Individualized exercise prescription of Phase I cardiac rehabilitation reduced the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with STEMI after PCI. VO 2  at VT is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease prognosis, and could be used as an important evaluating indicator for Phase I cardiac rehabilitation.
