Abstract
Cardiac rehabilitation is the process by which patients with cardiac disease are supported to achieve optimal physical and psychosocial health. Exercise training is a core element of cardiac rehabilitation. At our institution, there are two different rehabilitation programmes available to patients who have undergone cardiac surgery: Firstly, there is the in-house (IH) hospital-based programme, secondly, the Road to Recovery (R2R) home programme.
