Analysis of extensive data has shown that exercise training provides significant
impact on prevention and modification of cardiovascular diseases and mortality.
In general, exercise recommendations for patients with cardiovascular diseases
are based on individual aerobic capacity and comorbidities. Patients with acute
syndromes benefit from participating in a cardiac rehabilitation program, whereas
patients with chronic syndromes benefit from a life-long home-based program. In
general, exercise prescription should involve aerobic activities in combination
with resistance, flexibility, and balance exercises. This review will discuss an
exercise prescription for patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure,
and after heart transplantation. Detailed precautions for particular groups of
patients will be discussed.
