2018 Annual Meeting Recorded Session B202: Concurrent Management of Five Major Cardiac Risk Factors during Cardiac Rehabilitation Participation: Diabetes, Depression, Smoking, Obesity, and Family History/Gene
Traditionally, cardiac rehabilitation programs have limited their focus to only physical activity and exercise. However, ideally, comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation should address all major cardiac risk factors as part of a coordinated and personalized plan to prevent recurrent cardiac events. Moreover, each year, substantial research progress is made in better understanding and managing the cardiac risk factors that contribute to incident coronary artery disease and recurrent cardiac events. In this presentation, we will address five major risk factors that are often unrecognized and unmanaged in cardiac rehab. We will discuss recent research advances and well as strategies for better addressing these factors during cardiac rehabilitation.
