Do We Need Cardiac Rehabilitation in Heart Failure

J Coll Physicians Surg Pak. 2018 Jan;28(1):61-62. doi: 10.29271/jcpsp.2018.01.61.

Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation is a well established therapy for heart failure patients. Discussion is made of the different types, modalities, time and number of sessions and whether it is restricted to systolic heart failure or younger patients only. Elaboration will be made on how to make it more accessible to a larger proportion of population.
