Overview

Endorses structured exercise counselling as standard in cardiac rehabilitation; confirms its centrality while directing implementation research priorities.

Key Points

  • Physical activity counselling and exercise training serve as central components of cardiac rehabilitation to restore patient quality of life.
  • Guideline recommendations establish multidisciplinary secondary prevention across seven clinical presentations to reduce cardiovascular risks.
  • Structured exercise training supports functional capacity and risk reduction, though flexible follow-up and specialized clinical teams remain essential.
