Cardiac Rehabilitation Review Articles

The use of cardiac rehabilitation is well established within the scientific community. Excerise based programs are shown to enhance cardiac fitness also because the microvacular response. A Cochrane Review of 147 studies demonstrated that for myocardial infarct and coronary failure patients, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improves quality of life and reduces readmission rates. However, there was no benefit in mortality. There appears to be no difference in outcomes between inpatient and outpatient programs. Rehabilitation programs that only have an academic or psychological component haven't been shown to be effective. Another Cochrane Review of six randomised controlled trials in adults with fibrillation found that exercise-based rehabilitation may improve workout capacity, but there was no effect on health-related quality of life. Due to the limited number of trials, the authors couldn't estimate the impact on mortality or serious adverse events. Weight loss may be a tool wont to aid in cardiac rehabilitation. There is a strong correlation between obesity and cardiovascular disease. Obesity is associated with excessive fat accumulation in the body, which can inhibit bodily functions, such as blood flow through veins and arteries. When fat expands, the amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines also increases. As the name suggests, cytokines have an inflammatory reaction to this, in which they induce the build-up of plaques in veins and arteries. Obesity stems from a diet high in saturated fats, processed food and excess alcohol.
