• Description:
  Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a comprehensive secondary prevention program designed to improve cardiovascular health following a cardiac-related event or procedure. The vast majority of CR is delivered in an outpatient hospital setting, so that is the focus of this document. An optimal CR experience consists of 36 one-hour sessions that include team-based, supervised exercise training, education and skills development for heart-healthy living, and counseling on stress and other psychosocial factors.
  
  Million Hearts®, a national initiative co-led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with the goal of preventing 1 million acute cardiovascular events in 5 years, has worked with CR professionals to set a national goal of 70% participation in CR for eligible patients. Improving awareness about the benefits of CR, increasing referral of eligible patients, expanding uptake of alternative CR delivery models, and reducing system and patient barriers to participation are all steps that may improve the referral, enrollment, and participation rates in CR programs. More importantly, effective strategies have been identified but are not yet widely and systematically implemented.
