Abstract
Regardless of advances in medical and interventional treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a limited number of patients attend a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programme on a regular basis. Due to modern therapies more individuals will be surviving an acute cardiovascular event, but the expected burden of chronic heart failure will be increasing worldwide.
However, both in high- and low-income countries, secondary prevention after an acute myocardial infarction or stroke has been implemented in less than a half of eligible patients.
Combined interventions are still needed to reduce decompensations, hospitalizations and mortality in heart failure patients from any origin. In addition to medical treatments, regular exercise has been demonstrated to improve metabolic and hemodynamic conditions in both asymptomatic risk factor carriers and cardiac patients. Risk factor control and exercise should gather together for an effective management of patients.
Exercise-based training is a core component of primary and secondary prevention. It should involve healthy carriers of cardiovascular risk factors, and patients with cardiomyopathy as well. The supposed attenuated effect of CR in the era of advanced revascularization and structural interventions is due to the heterogeneity of training models and physical training in the literature. Moreover, lifestyle modification, psycho-social challenges and patient’s compliance are potential confounders.
In this chapter the most recent evidences about training modalities and potential benefit of CR in heart failure patients are discussed.
