Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs play a pivotal role in the comprehensive management of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), offering a multidisciplinary approach to improve the physical, psychological, and social well-being of patients. Despite its proven benefits in reducing mortality, morbidity, and enhancing quality of life, CR faces various challenges in its implementation and uptake. This paper examines the benefits of CR, explores the challenges hindering its effectiveness, and discusses future perspectives for enhancing its reach and impact.
