Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and an important cause of morbidity. Cardiac rehabilitation is a major part of secondary prevention for patients with coronary heart disease with several benefits across its spectrum, including reductions in mortality, cardiac events and improvement in quality of life, among patients after myocardial infarction percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass graft. This review sought to present several evidence-based benefits of cardiac rehabilitation in the coronary heart disease scenarios of secondary prevention.
