Summary In 1991, Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs became the first definitive set of guidelines for practicing cardiac rehabilitation. Now, this second edition substantially updates and expands upon the first edition and parallels the new federal guidelines for implementing and restructuring cardiac rehabilitation programs. These state-of-the-art practice guidelines were developed by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) - the international leader in the scientific study and clinical application of cardiac rehabilitation. The new Guidelines now contains complete sections on The Elderly Participant, Resistance Training in Cardiac Rehabilitation, Psychosocial Assessment and Intervention, and Outcomes. Also, the second edition helps prepare readers for the future of cardiac rehab, including suggestions for limiting costs, increasing accessibility to low-risk patients, and using risk stratification techniques
