Guidelines for Cardia Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Programs-5th Edition With Web Resource

Description

This title can help in developing inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programmes. This new edition covers the entire scope of practice for cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention (CR/SP) programmes. It was developed by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation and contains information on promoting positive lifestyle behaviour patterns, reducing risk factors for disease progression and lessening the impact of cardiovascular disease on quality of life, morbidity and mortality. Thoroughly updated and restructured, it provides the most current models for designing and updating rehabilitation programmes for patients and preventing second episodes. The online web resource includes 24 reproducible questionnaires, charts, consent forms, protocols, records, checklists and logs for use in creating or assessing programmes.

The American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) is the worldwide leader in promoting the value and practice of cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation. AACVPR's mission is improving the quality of life for patients and their families by reducing morbidity, mortality, and disability from cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases through education, prevention, rehabilitation, research, and aggressive disease management.
