Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Recent Clinical Advances in Cardiac Rehabilitation: 2nd Edition”. This is a continuation of the previous series. In our previous Special Issue (entitled “Recent Clinical Advances in Cardiac Rehabilitation”), we collected original articles and review papers covering a wide range of topics.
The rapid development of new interventional, pharmacological, and biological methods of treating cardiovascular diseases has meant that in recent decades of the 21st century, we have seen the extension of human life and the improvement of its quality during therapy. Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation defined by WHO in 1963, despite the passage of six decades since then, still does not require redefinition—let us recall: “it is the coordinated sum of the activities needed to influence favorably the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, as well as to provide the best possible physical, mental, and social conditions, so that the patients may, by their efforts, preserve or resume best functioning in their community and through improved health behavior, slow or reverse progression of the disease”.
Despite obtaining class I recommendations in the management of patients after acute coronary syndrome or after hospitalization due to heart failure, we still see insufficient use of this way of culminating in-hospital treatment.
In this Special Issue, we want to present the latest achievements in cardiac rehabilitation and create a platform for exchanging experiences between centers conducting this form of treatment. We invite cardiologists, internists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and all specialists involved in the rehabilitation process after treatment of heart and vascular diseases to send their works, among which original works and review articles are welcome.
