“…(ii) The corresponding rates in the study by Ades et al (1992) were 21.7% and 37.1% for rehabilitated and non-rehabilitated patients respectively. These rates are used in the calculations in this analysis.…”

“…These costs amount to $185,410 and far outweigh operating costs of $95,200, $47,944 for the exercise stress tests and establishment costs of $14,678. Assuming the same rate of hospital readmissions averted based on the study by Ades et al (1992) this equates to $100,075 in potential cost savings. The total average cost for rehabilitating a person in the home-based program proposed here was $1,169.…”

“…Several randomised control trials have found lower frequency of readmission to hospital, length of hospital stay and costs associated with patients attending cardiac rehabilitation (Picard et al, 1989, Oldridge et al, 1993, Ades et al, 1992, Bondestam et al, 1995. The value of hospital readmissions averted is a benefit to the health care system (through cost savings) and to patients of cardiac rehabilitation.…”

“…Therefore, readmission rates were extrapolated from a similar trial by Ades et al (1992) and applied to these programs as the likely outcome. Ades et al report results from a nonrandomised home-based cardiac rehabilitation trial involving post-myocardial infarction patients followed up for approximately two years.…”

“…Cardiac rehabilitation usually includes a multidimensional program of exercise, health education and counselling to promote behaviour changes. Participation in cardiac rehabilitation programs has demonstrated improvements in physiological functioning (Haskwell et al, 1994), quality of life and risk factor profiles (Oldridge et al, 1991, Linen et al, 1996, and reductions in cardiac mortality rates (O'Connor et al, 1989), psychological stress (Dracup et al, 1991), hospital readmissions and associated costs (Oldridge et al, 1993, Ades et al, 1992. Recognised as best practice among national and international agencies cardiac rehabilitation should be routinely available to everyone with cardio-vascular disease (CVD) whom may benefit.…”

Summary: In the current era, cardiac rehabilitation after a myocardial event involves physical training in conjunction with optimidnp the use of medications to control myocardial ischemia and prevent cardiac complications. It is also the time to identify and treat concomitant psychiatric problems and to develop an individualized program in secondary risk factor modification through counseling, behavior modification, nutritional counseling, and a properly selected drug program. This review attempts to deal with the above matters pragmatically.

Heart disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity among adults who are older than 65 years of age. One-third of cardiac operations on adults in the United States are performed on patients who are more than 65 years old, and almost half of the hospitalized candidates for an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs are in the older patient population. Structured educational program that include exercise and modification of risk factors have been shown to reduce the risk of subsequent coronary events; however, studies show that older adults enroll in these programs at a significantly lower rate than do patients in other age groups. Nurses and other healthcare professionals must eliminate barriers to participation and adapt their programs to meet the needs of older adults with cardiac disease to reduce morbidity, enhance functioning, and improve quality of life. In this article, the authors describe current knowledge about the efficacy and use of cardiac education and rehabilitation in elderly patients and suggest implications for future practice and research.
