Abstract
Preview The approach to rehabilitative care of coronary patients has changed dramatically in recent years. Emphasis has shifted from highly structured, formal programs to individualized regimens. Why have these changes come about? What are the current recommendations for exercise training? Can new technologies improve education and counseling of coronary patients? Dr Wenger, an advocate of the evolving patterns of coronary rehabilitative care, answers these and other questions and explains the advantages of the new approaches.
