| Description | Ambulantory Cardiovascular Rehabilitation (CR) have been operating at the University Hospital Brno systematically since 1993. Participation in the outpatient program is offered as standard for all patients after acute myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure as well as patients after cardiosurgery interventions. Within 23 years of existence outpatient program was successfully completed by patients after acute myocardial infarction, with chronic heart failure, most of ischemic etiology, after cardiosurgery interventions (standard aorto-coronary bypass grafting and valvular replacements) and also by patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention because of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis, without a history of acute myocardial infarction. Two to three-month training program lead to statistically significant improvement in aerobic capacity and assuming it can sustain these patients to reduce morbidity and mortality by influencing the cardiovascular risk factors. Currently our departement works as a subsidiary of the Rehabilitation Department at Departement of Cardiology, University Hospital Brno. We have been permanently working on patient care improvement and the introduction of innovations in the field of Cardiovascular CR in clinical practice. The aim of the review is to acquaint the reader with the history and concepts of CR at our workplace which belongs to pioneers in this professional specialization. |
