What is Advanced Cardiac Rehabilitation Program?

Cardiac rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary secondary-prevention program for patients after myocardial infarction, coronary bypass, valve surgery, heart failure, LVAD implantation or heart transplantation. It reduces cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization.

The program includes an individualized exercise prescription, risk factor management, patient education, nutritional counseling, psychological support, smoking cessation and optimization of diabetes and hypertension. Cardiac rehabilitation proceeds through three phases (inpatient, outpatient and maintenance).

Telemedicine-based cardiac rehabilitation has widened access and improved adherence through remote monitoring, wearable technology and digital educational modules. Modern rehabilitation protocols carry class 1 guideline recommendations.
