Cardiovascular rehabilitation and prevention

The book will become an essential source of information for new or established cardiovascular rehabilitation and secondary prevention programmes. It contains not only information and tools for providing excellent patient care in these settings, but also addresses the many barriers and deficiencies that exist in providing these services to all eligible individuals.
The insights in the book cover the entire field of evidence-based cardiovascular rehabilitation and secondary prevention practice. The text includes information on promoting positive behaviours and healthy lifestyles, reducing cardiovascular risk factors in disease progression, and reducing the impact of cardiovascular disease on quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. The text provides the most up-to-date models for designing and updating rehabilitation programmes for patients and preventing further disease. The chapters include objectives and summaries to help readers quickly assess topics and identify the most important points.
