  • Title: [The current status of cardiac rehabilitation in Switzerland].
    Author: Pfiffner D, Saner H.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1990 Oct 20; 120(42):1565-8. PubMed ID: 2237347.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to investigate the present situation of institutionalized cardiac rehabilitation in Switzerland. In 1989, there were 21 rehabilitation clinics and 21 ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation programs in Switzerland. All programs include physical activity and risk factor intervention. There is a wide variety of program selection and intensity. The medical care, the physical activity program, the strategy for risk factor intervention, the technical equipment and the emergency concept can be regarded as good in most rehabilitation clinics and in the ambulatory rehabilitation programs. However, a search for quality criteria for further activities in cardiac rehabilitation in Switzerland seems desirable.
