Abstract
Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation for coronary patients includes a systematic approach to the measurement and treatment of coronary risk factors, along with the better-known exercise training component. Studies of exercise and nutritional interventions in patients with coronary heart disease have documented improved primary outcomes of decreased morbidity and mortality, decreased symptoms, and fewer cardiac rehospitalizations. Quality of life, depression scores, and physical functioning are improved after rehabilitation.
