SIGN Guideline No. 57 Cardiac Rehabilitation
Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN) clinical guidelines on cardiac rehabilitation focusing on exercise training, covering benefits, safety issues, prior assessment, staffing, location of exercise, content of programme, frequency of exercise and monitoring.
These guidelines provide evidence based recommendations for best practice in cardiac rehabilitation. It is primarily concerned with rehabilitation following myocardial infarction (MI) or coronary revascularisation, but also addresses the rehabilitation needs of patients with angina or heart failure. Cardiac rehabilitation has much in common with secondary prevention. To appreciate the difference, it may be considered that cardiac rehabilitation facilitates recovery whereas secondary prevention prevents further illness. This guideline complements existing SIGN guidelines on secondary prevention following MI, stable angina and heart failure.
