Key result
Cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention programs, particularly regular physical activity, are recommended to reduce disability and cardiovascular risk in patients with coronary heart disease.
This review reinforces the importance of cardiac rehabilitation and regular physical activity as integral components of secondary prevention in patients with coronary heart disease.
Reinforces cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle focus in CHD guidelines; leaves open optimal real-world implementation and adherence strategies.
Cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention programs are recognized as integral to the comprehensive care of patients with coronary heart disease, and as such are recommended in most contemporary clinical practice guidelines. The interventions are aimed at reducing disability, optimizing cardiovascular risk reduction by drug therapy and promoting healthy behavior. Healthy lifestyle habits must be recognized as capable of substantially reducing the risk for cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease. This review highlights the recommended components of cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention programs, with special emphasis on regular physical activity.
