Despite advances in the investigation and treatment of angina and myocardial infarction, and increased knowledge of the factors associated with the development and progression of ischaemic heart disease, it remains the leading cause of death and morbidity in the majority of industrialized countries. Cardiac rehabilitation provides a means of modifying lifestyle and other risk factors in patients presenting with established, symptomatic coronary artery disease, thereby reducing the risk of further cardiac events. It has also been proven to be cost-efficient.
尽管在心绞痛和心肌梗死的调查与治疗方面取得了进展，并且对与缺血性心脏病的发生和发展相关的因素有了更多了解，但在大多数工业化国家，它仍然是死亡和发病的主要原因。心脏康复为改善已确诊的有症状冠状动脉疾病患者的生活方式和其他风险因素提供了一种手段，从而降低进一步发生心脏事件的风险。它也已被证明具有成本效益。
