Title: | Standardization and quality improvement of secondary prevention through cardiovascular rehabilitation programmes in Europe: The avenue towards EAPC accreditation programme: A position statement of the Secondary Prevention and Rehabilitation Section of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC) | Authors: | Abreu, Ana FREDERIX, Ines DENDALE, Paul JANSSEN, Arne Doherty, Patrick Piepoli, Massimo F.

Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD | Source: | European journal of preventive cardiology (Print), 28 (5), p. 496-509 | Abstract: | Despite the proven efficacy and cost-effectiveness of contemporary cardiovascular rehabilitation programmes, the referral to/uptake of and adherence to cardiovascular rehabilitation remains inadequate. In addition, heterogeneity persists amongst different cardiovascular rehabilitation centres in Europe, despite the available scientific documents describing the evidence-based rehabilitation format/content. This position statement was elaborated by the Secondary Prevention and Rehabilitation (SP/CR) section of EAPC. It defines the minimal and optimal cardiovascular rehabilitation standards. In addition, it describes the relevant quality indicators of cardiovascular rehabilitation programmes to date. Compliance of European cardiovascular rehabilitation centres with these standards will improve cardiovascular rehabilitation process standardization in Europe and hence increase the quality of cadiovascular rehabilitation programmes. | Notes: | Abreu, A (corresponding author), Hosp Univ Santa Maria, Ctr Hosp Univ Lisboa Norte CHULN, Cardiol Dept, Av Prof Egas Moniz, P-1649028 Lisbon, Portugal. ananabreu@hotmail.com |
