Cardiac Rehabilitation and Quality of Life

Cardiac rehabilitation: the gateway for secondary prevention

Heart BMJ

NOVEMBER 25, 2024

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a multidisciplinary supervised programme which typically consists of tailored exercise and education on lifestyle management and risk factor modification in cardiac patients. Participation in CR reduces morbidity and mortality, while improving quality of life following major cardiovascular events.

Adherence to phase I cardiac rehabilitation in post-PCI patients: a latent class analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

FEBRUARY 23, 2025

While percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) repairs narrowed arteries and extends patients' lives, cardiac rehabilitation offers additional benefits post-PCI. Latent class analysis identified potential categories of adherence to phase I cardiac rehabilitation in post-PCI patients.

Effects of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation delivery modes on exercise capacity and health-related quality of life in heart failure: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Open Heart

JUNE 9, 2022

Background This review aimed to compare the relative effectiveness of different exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR) delivery modes (centre-based, home-based, hybrid and technology-enabled ExCR) on key heart failure (HF) outcomes: exercise capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), HF-related hospitalisation and HF-related mortality.

Individuals with HF and AF may have a reduced functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) which leads to hospital admission and burden on clinical services. However, there is no existing data on the effectiveness of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in individuals with coexisting HF and AF. ±9.8%

Cardiovascular diseases pose a major threat to human life, functional activity, and quality of life. Patients with cardiovascular disease are always at risk for adverse cardiac events, decreased physical activity, psychoemotional disturbances, and limited social participation due to their varying pathologies.

European Journal of Heart Failure

OCTOBER 31, 2023

This 2023 Cochrane review of 60 randomized trials in 8728 heart failure patients, confirms the benefits of participation in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR), including reduced risk of hospitalization and a clinically meaningful improvement in health-related quality of life.

Open Heart

AUGUST 12, 2022

Introduction Cardiac diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Cardiac rehabilitation is proven to be beneficial in reducing morbidity, mortality and rehospitalisation rates. Recently, more emphasis is given to home-based telemonitored cardiac rehabilitation due to the recent pandemic of SARS-CoV-2.
