Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of heart failure and premature deaths worldwide. It contributes substantially to the increase in health care costs. 1 The previous study showed 48% of deaths in the world were caused by cardiovascular disease. A cohort study at the Harapan Kita National Heart Center and 5 hospitals in Indonesia suggested that the death rate due to heart disease in the hospital was around 6-12% and the re-hospitalization rate was 29%. 2 Hidayat et al. reported that the total cost of INA-CBG claim for in-patient services for 18 months was Rp 42.4 triliun. 3 Up to now, the therapy for stable coronary artery disease was medical treatment in accordance with the recommendation, because it was proven to improve symptoms and prognosis unless progression of worsening occurred should be sent for revascularization. Revascularization either with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is more effective in treating angina, reducing of anti-angina drugs need, improving exercise capacity, and quality of life, compared to medical treatment strategies alone. 4 After revascularization procedures, the coronary artery disease (CAD) patients recommended to perform in hospital base followed by community based cardiac rehabilitation.
