Cardiac rehabilitation is increasingly recognized as an integral component of the continuum of care for patients with cardiovascular disease. Its application is a class I recommendation in most contemporary cardiovascular clinical practice guidelines. Despite the documentation of substantial morbidity and mortality benefits, cardiac rehabilitation services are vastly underutilized. The core components of cardiac rehabilitation have been delineated in detail. Implementation of newly available performance measures offers the potential to enhance referral to, enrollment in, and completion of cardiac rehabilitation.
心脏康复越来越被认为是心血管疾病患者连续护理不可或缺的组成部分。在大多数当代心血管临床实践指南中，其应用是I类推荐。尽管有大量关于发病率和死亡率降低的记录，但心脏康复服务的利用率仍极低。心脏康复的核心组成部分已得到详细描述。实施新的绩效指标有可能增加心脏康复的转诊、登记和完成率。
