Implication

Scoping review shows exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improves cardiopulmonary fitness in patients with ICD, suggesting its safety and benefits.

Key Points

  • Cardiac rehabilitation demonstrates a significant improvement in VO2 and MET levels in patients with an ICD, enhancing quality of life.
  • Most training programs included in the review combined aerobic and strength exercises lasting 12 weeks, maintaining heart rates at safe levels.
  • The scoping review utilized established methodology to analyze studies from several databases, ensuring comprehensive data collection.
  • Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is shown to carry a low complication rate and reduces the fear of physical activity among patients with an ICD.
