Abstract

E ach year, an estimated 785 000 Americans will suffer a new myocardial infarction (MI; heart attack), and nearly 470 000 will have a recurrent attack. 1 Within 5 years of an initial MI, 15% of men and 22% of women 45 to 64 years of age and 22% of men and women Ͼ65 years of age will suffer a recurrent MI or fatal coronary heart disease (CHD). 1 Given this high recurrence rate, preventing secondary cardiac events is an essential part of the care for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).Cardiac rehabilitation/secondary prevention programs (CR/SPPs) are medically supervised programs that help patients with CVD to recover more quickly after a cardiac event and to stay healthy.CR/SPPs are more than just diet and exercise programs; these programs offer a multifaceted and multidisciplinary approach to optimize the overall physical, mental, and social functioning of people with CVD.CR/SPPs include specific core components that aim to optimize cardiovascular risk reduction, foster healthy behaviors and compliance with these behaviors, reduce disability, and promote an active lifestyle for patients with CVD. 2 Comprehensive CR/SPPs consist of baseline patient assessment, nutritional counseling, aggressive risk factor management (ie, lipids, hypertension, weight, diabetes mellitus, and smoking), psychosocial and vocational counseling, and physical activity counseling and exercise training.Patients participating in CR/SPPs are also prescribed cardioprotective drugs that have evidence-based efficacy

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
