Only 10% of patients receive cardiac rehabilitation after hospitalization for acute heart failure, and most do not maintain long-term physical activity despite recognized benefits.
This position paper outlines strategies to overcome barriers to cardiac rehabilitation and promote long-term physical activity adherence in heart failure patients in France.

Cardiac rehabilitation remains markedly underused after acute HF hospitalization despite IA recommendations; confirms major implementation gaps and supports targeted access strategies.
Zorès et al. (2019) conducted a review in Heart failure. Physical activity and cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated. Despite class IA recommendations, only 10% of patients benefit from a cardiac rehabilitation programme after hospitalization for acute heart failure, highlighting the need for broader access.
