Get Expertise in Cardiac Rehabilitation and Physical Activity Program Planning

With nearly 100-million affected people, India is on the verge of becoming the "heart disease capital of the world", experts warned today. Coronary heart disease is the top most cause of death in India. Every year the disease claims about 1.4 million lives. For the sufferers open heart surgery is the most common treatment, with vessels taken from elsewhere in a patient's body and sewn onto the heart to replace clogged ones. The main aim of any health care facility provided to the people with heart disease is to achieve “an active and satisfying life and to prevent the recurrence of cardiac events”.

Cardiac rehabilitation describes all measures used to help people with heart disease return to an active and satisfying life and to prevent recurrence of cardiac events. Preferably, a multidisciplinary team of health professionals, with one nominated coordinator, should deliver cardiac rehabilitation services. In some instances, for example in rural and remote areas, a program may function adequately with only one trained health professional provided there is access to medical guidance and the availability of referral for medical opinion. A trained health professional should have additional training and/or work experience encompassing adult education principles and physical activity programs as set out complete care to people with heart disease. All public and private hospitals treating people with heart disease, as well as all centres offering cardiac rehabilitation, needs a trained health professional with specific expertise and knowledge of cardiac rehabilitation and program planning, development and evaluation to take on the role of cardiac rehabilitation coordinator.
