Contemporary cardiac rehabilitation programs are more accurately described as "secondary prevention centers." They offer comprehensive care for the patient with cardiovascular disease, resulting in decreased mortality, improvement of most cardiac risk factors, and an enhanced quality of life. Although overall participation has increased with enhanced recognition of the importance of secondary prevention, 80% of eligible patients still do not participate, in part due to lack of insurance reimbursement. This rate can be significantly increased by specific endorsement from the physician.
