Abstract:
More than 300,000 patients worldwide have undergone transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis (AS). The rise in TAVR as a treatment option is driven in large part by evidence showing its benefits compared with medical treatment in patients with symptomatic severe AS who were too ill to undergo surgical aortic valve replacement. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended after valvular cardiac surgery for improving exercise capacity, with data also now showing its utility to improve quality of life, moderate frailty, and increase survival. This review describes the state of the art of CR for TAVR.
