Cardiac Rehabilitation and Fitness - What is the evidence ?
Medical Progress
Progress in medication as well as treatment of cardiovascular disease in recent years has been impressive. As a consequence more men and women now survive acute events but with a considerably heavier burden of chronic conditions and clinical need.
RecommendationCardiac rehabilitation (CR) has the highest level of recommendation (Class I) of all national and international cardiology and health societies.
- European Society of Cardiology (ESC). - American Heart Association (AHA). - American College of Cardiology (ACC). - World Health Organisation (WHO). And is endorsed by the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) and the New Zealand Heart Foundation. |
AimCardiac patients after an acute event and/or with chronic heart disease deserve special attention to restore their quality of life, to maintain or improve functional capacity and to prevent subsequent coronary events, hospitalisations, and death from cardiac causes [ESC guideline].
|
BenefitsCardiac Rehabilitation (CR) is associated with a 20% - 35% reduction in mortality in persons with coronary artery disease, particularly after myocardial infarction and after aortocoronary bypass surgery, but also after PCI for stable coronary disease. This benefit is thought to be mediated by several factors, including the benefits of exercise training, psychological benefits of group support and counseling, improved adherence to preventive therapies, and improved control of cardiovascular risk factors.
