Position Paper of the ltalian Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (GICR-IACPR) JF - Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease JA - Monaldi Arch Chest Dis VL - 88 IS - 3 SE - Position Paper DO - 10.4081/monaldi.2018.1004 UR - https://www.monaldi-archives.org/macd/article/view/1004 SP - AB - Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is the subspecialty of clinical cardiology dedicated to the treatment of cardiac patients, early and in the long term after an acute event. The aim of CR is to improve both quality of life and prognosis through prognostic stratification, clinical stabilization and optimization of therapy (pharmacological and non), management of comorbidities, treatment of disability, as well as through the provision and reinforcement of secondary prevention interventions and maintenaince of adherence to treatment. <br />The mission of CR has changed over time. Once centered on the acute phase, aimed primarily at short-term survival, the healthcare of cardiac patients now increasingly involves the chronic phase where the challenge is to guarantee continuity and quality of care in the medium and long-term. The aim of the present position paper is to provide the state-of-the-art of CR in Italy, discussing its trengths and weaknesses as well as future perspectives. ER -
