About “Master of Science (MSc) in Exercise and Exercise-based rehabilitation in patients with cardiovascular diseases” Programme
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR)
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a multidisciplinary process for patients recovering after an acute cardiac event or with chronic cardiovascular disease that reduces mortality and morbidity and improves quality of life. It is considered a cost-effective intervention and is expressly indicated in all medical guidelines of the major societies in cardiovascular medicine. On the other hand, exercise in patients with cardiovascular diseases should strike a balance between the multiple benefits of exercise and the small risk of sudden death and adverse events during strenuous effort.
Why Choose this Programme
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and morbidity in western countries with a huge human and economic impact across the health systems worldwide. Although there have been significant improvements in pharmacological and interventional treatments, it is now considered necessary to invest in prevention and rehabilitation, complementing the other interventions.
