Abstract

Cardiac Rehabilitation programmes are an integrated part of the total care of the patient and are delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Cardiac Rehabilitation is usually organised in four phases and has shown to reduce the morbidly and mortality associated with cardiac disease. Chronic Kidney Disease patients who are at risk of, or already have, Cardiovascular Disease should be monitored, educated and managed through close working relationships between the renal and cardiac multidisciplinary teams. One mechanism by which this may be achieved is through the use of cardiac rehabilitation programmes.
