Plaque build-up can lead to myocardial infarction.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a branch of rehabilitation medicine or physical therapy dealing with optimizing physical function in patients with cardiac disease or recent cardiac surgeries.

Cardiac rehabilitation is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "The sum of activity and interventions required to ensure the best possible physical, mental, and social conditions so that patients with chronic or post-acute cardiovascular disease may, by their own efforts, preserve or resume their proper place in society and lead an active life".[1]

CR is a comprehensive model of care including established core components,[2] including structured exercise, patient education, psychosocial counselling, risk factor reduction and behaviour modification, with a goal of optimizing patient's quality of life while helping to reduce the risk of future heart problems.[3]

CR is delivered by a multi-disciplinary team, often headed by a physician such as a cardiologist. Nurses support patients in reducing medical risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. A dietitian helps create a healthy eating plan, and a social worker or psychologist may help to alleviate stress or, for smokers, may give counseling on how to quit.[4] Support for return-to-work can also be provided. CR programs are very patient-centered.

Based on the benefits summarized below, CR programs are recommended by the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology and the European Society of Cardiology, among others. CR services can be provided during hospitalization for the event,[5] in an outpatient setting[4] or remotely using telephone or new technology.[6]

Phases

Patients typically enter cardiac rehabilitation in the weeks following an acute coronary event such as a myocardial infarction (heart attack), coronary artery bypass surgery, with a diagnosis of heart failure,[7] replacement of a heart valve, percutaneous coronary intervention (such as coronary stent placement), placement of a pacemaker, or placement of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.[4]

Inpatient program

Where available, patients receiving CR in the hospital after surgery are usually able to begin within a day or two. First steps include simple motion exercises that can be done sitting down, such as lifting the arms and legs. Heart rate is monitored and continues being monitored as the patient begins to walk.[5]

Outpatient program

Most patients wishing to participate in outpatient CR are able to begin within 4–6 weeks after surgery. In order to participate in an outpatient program, the patient must first obtain a physician's referral.[8] Participation typically begins with an intake evaluation that includes measurement of cardiac risk factors such as lipid measures, blood pressure, body weight, and smoking status. An exercise stress test is usually performed both to determine if exercise is safe and to allow for the development of a custom exercise program. During exercise, the patient's heart rate and blood pressure are monitored to check the intensity of activity.[4]

Short and long-term risk factors and goals are established, and patients are closely monitored by a "case-manager" who may be a cardiac-trained Registered Nurse, Physiotherapist, or an exercise physiologist.

The duration of the program varies from patient to patient and can range from six weeks to several years;[4] globally, a median of 24 sessions are offered.[9] Even after CR is finished, there are long-term maintenance programs that should not be minimized, as benefits are maintained only with long-term adherence.

Under-use

CR is significantly under-used globally.[10] Rates vary widely. Under-use is caused by multi-level factors. At the health system level, this includes lack of available programs.[11] At the provider level, there are low referral rates by physicians, who often focus more attention on better reimbursed cardiac intervention procedures than on long-term lifestyle treatments.[12][13] At the patient level, factors such as transportation, distance, cost, competing responsibilities, lack of awareness and other health conditions are responsible,[14] but most can be mitigated.[15]

It is important for inpatient units treating cardiac patients to institute automatic or electronic referral to CR.[16] It is also key for healthcare providers to promote CR to patients at the bedside.[17]

Benefits

Participation in CR is associated with many benefits. A Cochrane review of 147 studies demonstrated that for myocardial infarction and heart failure patients, reduces cardiovascular mortality by 25% and readmission rates by 20%. However, there was no benefit in all-cause mortality.[18][19] A more recent network meta-analysis however, where the complex components of CR are better considered, showed significant reductions in all-cause mortality with CR.[20]

CR is also associated with improved quality of life,[21] as well as better psychosocial well-being, cardiorespiratory fitness. CR is cost-effective.

There appears to be no difference in outcomes between supervised and home-based programs, and both cost about the same.[22]

Another Cochrane review of six randomised controlled trials in adults with atrial fibrillation found that exercise-based rehabilitation may improve physical exercise capacity, but there was no effect on health-related quality of life. Due to the limited number of trials, the authors could not estimate the impact on mortality or serious adverse events.[23] There are also Cochrane reviews on effects in valve patients,[24] among others.

CR Societies

CR professionals work together in many countries to optimize service delivery and increase awareness of CR. The International Council of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (ICCPR) is comprised of formally-named Board members of CR societies globally. Through cooperation across most CR-related associations, ICCPR seeks to promote CR in low-resource settings, among other aims outlined in their Charter.[25]
