The core components of comprehensive CR programs for CHF patients are exercise, education, counseling and psychosocial support, services which are delivered by a multidisciplinary team and are accompanied by excellent outcomes for both the patient and the healthcare system in general [1].

The utilization rates of comprehensive CR services from eligible CHF patients is extremely low worldwide [2], the necessity of participation of these patients in CR is undeniable and is determined by the epidemiological characteristics of CHF, the strong evidence derived from the guidelines and recommendations developed by scientific associations, the documented benefit for both the patient and the healthcare system and the poor self-care behavior of these patients, which is modifiable through the use of rehabilitation services
