    This study demonstrates the feasibility of cardiac rehabilitation programs in community hospitals. The exercise program significantly improved patient morale and return-to-work rates without adverse events.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Coronary heart disease (CHD) necessitates effective rehabilitation strategies.
    • Limited data exists on the feasibility of hospital-based exercise programs for CHD patients in district general hospitals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility and patient outcomes of a structured exercise rehabilitation program for men with coronary heart disease.
    • To evaluate the safety and impact on morale and return to work.

    Main Methods:

    • A 3-month exercise rehabilitation program was implemented twice weekly.
    • Participants included men with recent myocardial infarctions, past myocardial infarctions, or angina.
    • Program feasibility, dropout rates, adverse events, and patient morale were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • The program was feasible in a district general hospital setting.
    • No deaths or cardiac arrests occurred; dropout rates were low (16/59), with few medical reasons.
    • Significant improvements in patient morale and a high incidence of return to work were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Community hospital-based cardiac exercise rehabilitation programs are feasible and safe.
    • Such programs can positively impact patient morale and facilitate return to work.
    • Further research should explore broader implementation and long-term benefits.
