Phase II—Supervised Exercise Training

Abstract

Early assessment allows for the identification of the individual needs of patients referred to cardiac rehabilitation. Establishing personalized goals and a plan of care before the initiation of appropriate cardiac rehabilitation service is essential. Cardiac risk stratification aims to identify patients at risk for a cardiac event recurrence. It includes the methodical assessment of the clinical and functional status of the patient to classify him/her as low, moderate, or high risk.
