What is cardiac rehabilitation and what is the problem with it?
Cardiac rehab is a medically supervised program designed to improve your cardiovascular health if you have experienced heart attack, heart failure, angioplasty or heart surgery. The benefits of cardiac rehab programs are significant:
- Individuals who attend a full program of 36 sessions have a 47% lower risk of death and a 31% lower risk of heart attack than those who attend only 1 session.
- Health systems save $4,950 USD to $9,200 per person per year of life saved.
- Cardiac rehab participation also reduces hospital readmissions.
Every year in the US alone an estimated 1.3+ million adults with heart disease may qualify for cardiac rehabilitation but it is estimated that only between 3% and 25% of eligible patients start a program let alone complete a program. The reasons are plentiful: limited availability of practitioners in a geographic area, limited hours of availability, and other inconveniences make it difficult for patients to obtain the treatment they require.
The Kento team knows how to solve this problem based on prior experience
