What is cardiac rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehabilitation involves targeted recovery and rebuilding of physical capacity after heart disease or cardiac procedures. It helps regain strength, endurance, and confidence in daily life.
A structured, medically supervised recovery is crucial to ensure the heart is neither over- nor under-exerted.
When is cardiac rehabilitation necessary?
Key indicators include reduced physical capacity, rapid fatigue, uncertainty during physical activity, and the need for structured, safe guidance.
Why is cardiac rehabilitation important?
A previous heart condition or surgery requires a controlled, gradual recovery – the body needs time and targeted support.
Welche Prognose kann ich erwarten?
Cardiac rehabilitation improves physical capacity and quality of life and reduces the risk of recurrent heart problems.
What factors influence rehabilitation?
- pre-existing cardiovascular diseases
- advanced age
- lack of physical activity
- other co-morbidities
How does cardiac rehabilitation proceed?
Treatment involves medically supervised exercise therapy, controlled training, and a health-promoting lifestyle. Rest and structure support recovery.

Cardiac rehabilitation is itself an important part of preventing further cardiac events (secondary prevention).
