| dc.description.abstract | Background: Cardiac rehabilitation is an evidence-based intervention that includes
physical exercise, health education, and modification of health behavior in patients
with cardiovascular disease. Cardiac rehabilitation is a secondary prevention after
acute coronary syndrome and improves treatment outcomes in patients with coronary
heart disease. This literature review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac
rehabilitation in coronary heart disease patients. Methods: This present study was a
literature review discussing cardiac rehabilitation for coronary heart disease patients.
Results: The result showed that the functional capacity of the CR group was more
increased compared to non-CR (p <0.001; α <0.05), left ventricular eject ion fract ion
was significantly increased in the CR group (p < 0.05; α <0.05), the medical cost of CR
group was lower significant ly (p=0.042; α <0.05), the risk of recurrence rate was
significantly lower in CR group (p=0.004; α <0.05), and QoL of CR group was higher
significant ly (p=0.001; α <0.05). Conclusions: Cardiac rehabilitation is known to
increase functional capacity, increase left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), reduce
medical costs, reduce the recurrence rate, and increase QoL of patients with CHD. | en_US |
