Purpose Of Review:
To review the benefits, challenges, and advances in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Recent Findings:
Novel strategies of delivering CR are being studied that use remote technologies to link patients with CR professionals. These strategies used alone or in tandem with center-based, face-to-face strategies appear to have shorter-term effectiveness, but additional work is needed to assess the longer-term impact. Cardiac rehabilitation improves patient outcomes, but only a minority of eligible individuals participate. Solutions exist to help bridge the barriers to CR participation, including systematic solutions, such as automatic CR referral of eligible patients. Efforts are underway to improve participation, improve the effectiveness of CR therapies, and enhance the reach of CR into new patient groups. Future work in the field is focused on opportunities to advance the science, practice, and policies that will shape and improve the delivery and impact of CR services.
