Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a particular burden in middle-income countries (MICs). Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a secondary prevention model resulting in reduced CV mortality, morbidity, cost-effectively. However, CR is under-utilized globally, especially in MICs due to structural, social, and economic barriers. The International Council of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (ICCPR) is a World Heart Federation-affiliated umbrella association founded ~15 years ago, now comprised of 50 Associations and 30 champions in countries without CR societies. ICCPR addresses delivery challenges through: CR guidelines tailored for MICs, the Global CR Audit to support advocacy, the International CR Registry (ICRR), Program Certification to support service quality, multi-disciplinary provider training (CR Foundations Certification; CRFC), women-focused CR initiatives, and partnerships with the World Health Organization. ICCPR continues to foster global CR accessibility through collaboration, communication, as well as research and advocacy with their upcoming Global CR Audit Update.

期刊介绍：
Global Heart offers a forum for dialogue and education on research, developments, trends, solutions and public health programs related to the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) worldwide, with a special focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Manuscripts should address not only the extent or epidemiology of the problem, but also describe interventions to effectively control and prevent CVDs and the underlying factors. The emphasis should be on approaches applicable in settings with limited resources.
Economic evaluations of successful interventions are particularly welcome. We will also consider negative findings if important. While reports of hospital or clinic-based treatments are not excluded, particularly if they have broad implications for cost-effective disease control or prevention, we give priority to papers addressing community-based activities. We encourage submissions on cardiovascular surveillance and health policies, professional education, ethical issues and technological innovations related to prevention.
Global Heart is particularly interested in publishing data from updated national or regional demographic health surveys, World Health Organization or Global Burden of Disease data, large clinical disease databases or registries. Systematic reviews or meta-analyses on globally relevant topics are welcome. We will also consider clinical research that has special relevance to LMICs, e.g. using validated instruments to assess health-related quality-of-life in patients from LMICs, innovative diagnostic-therapeutic applications, real-world effectiveness clinical trials, research methods (innovative methodologic papers, with emphasis on low-cost research methods or novel application of methods in low resource settings), and papers pertaining to cardiovascular health promotion and policy (quantitative evaluation of health programs.
