Abstract:
Reducing cardiac mortality and improving quality of life are the main objectives of cardiac rehabilitation. In recent years, outpatient rehabilitation within easy patient reach has achieved the same status as inpatient rehabilitation. Outpatient rehabilitation permits close involvement of the patient's family and social environment, thus easing reintegration into everyday life. However, the health care system is not yet utilizing outpatient rehabilitation to its full potential. This contribution illustrates the principles of rehabilitation following myocardial infarction or for heart failure in an outpatient setting, as well as its potential and future development.
