Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac Rehabilitation is a cardiovascular term related to cardiac structure, electrical activity, circulation, vascular disease or a test or treatment used in heart care.
Abnormalities involving cardiac rehabilitation can alter blood flow, cardiac output, rhythm or oxygen delivery and may present with pain, breathlessness, palpitations or fainting.
Clinical examination is often supported by ECG, echocardiography, blood biomarkers, vascular imaging or catheter-based assessment to define the problem; this helps distinguish cardiac rehabilitation from clinically similar conditions.
The urgency of cardiac rehabilitation is determined by hemodynamic stability, degree of obstruction or dysfunction and evidence of injury to the heart or other organs.
Management may include lifestyle measures, cardiovascular medication, rhythm treatment, catheter intervention, surgery or structured rehabilitation.
Long-term outcome associated with cardiac rehabilitation is influenced by underlying heart disease, treatment response and control of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.
