Abstract
Cardiac rehabilitation consists of comprehensive risk factor reduction with demonstrated effectiveness in combating cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association defines cardiac rehabilitation as a supervised program to improve cardiovascular health through a combination of exercise, education, and emotional counseling for those who have had a myocardial infarction, heart failure, angioplasty, or heart surgery. Cardiac rehabilitation programs involve evaluations by a team of specialists, structured exercise, and lifestyle risk factor modification, and a focus on long-term goals to improve overall health and reduce coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality. Family physicians play a vital role in ensuring that patients are connected to and complete cardiac rehabilitation training because the program remains underused nationwide. After a coronary heart disease event and cardiac rehabilitation, these programs continue to support patients by helping them adhere to lifestyle modifications.
期刊介绍：
American Family Physician is a semimonthly, editorially independent, peer-reviewed journal of the American Academy of Family Physicians. AFP’s chief objective is to provide high-quality continuing medical education for more than 190,000 family physicians and other primary care clinicians. The editors prefer original articles from experienced clinicians who write succinct, evidence-based, authoritative clinical reviews that will assist family physicians in patient care. AFP considers only manuscripts that are original, have not been published previously, and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Articles that demonstrate a family medicine perspective on and approach to a common clinical condition are particularly desirable.
