  • Title: Exercise for the cardiac patient. Long-term maintenance phase.
    Author: Hartley LH.
    Journal: Cardiol Clin; 1993 May; 11(2):277-84. PubMed ID: 8508453.
    Abstract:
    Exercise is an important part of the long-term management of patients with heart disease. Patients should be screened carefully and receive an exercise prescription that is safe and effective based on their exercise test results. For the safest programs, individuals should either restrict their activity to moderate intensities or exercise in the presence of medical supervision. The results of such programs have been shown to improve both the quality and quantity of life.
