Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a comprehensive, medically supervised program that affords clinical benefits for cardiac surgical patients, including those undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve procedures, and heart transplantation.1,2 Although CR typically occurs in 3 phases—inpatient, early outpatient, and maintenance, the outpatient phase focuses on clinical guidelines for qualifying patients that recommend a total of 36 sessions over a 3- to 4-month period. Outpatient CR, primarily thought of as monitored exercise training, is a multidisciplinary therapy that includes education on heart-healthy living, medication education, and counseling to manage stress and enhance mental health to aid in recovery and reduce the risk of secondary cardiovascular events.
