Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) including exercise training are effective to reduce morbidity, mortality and risk factors such as physical fitness, cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure. The main goal for CR is to establish exercise training and other lifestyle changes as permanent changes in the patient's life. Many studies have shown that cardiac patients strive to maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle, one year after participating in CR. Furthermore, this leads to risk profile returning to the starting point where they got their Cardiac event. Changing a lifestyle is known to take time, and we believe that the patients need further follow-up beyond the time spent in traditional CR.
