Cardiac rehabilitation includes a multidisciplinary approach to overall cardiovascular disease risk reduction.
Although the core therapeutic modality is monitored and supervised exercise training, cardiac rehabilitation
programs contain specific components aimed at optimizing cardiovascular risk reduction, fostering healthy
behaviors, and improving functional capacity and quality of life in patients with heart disease
Demonstrated Outcomes of Cardiac Rehabilitation:
