Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to be the leading cause of mortality globally, but are also the leading cause of disability in those over 50. CVDs are becoming more preponderant in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the need for care is greatest, yet access is a great challenge. Cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) is an established and comprehensive model of secondary preventive care, proven through rigorous Cochrane reviews to mitigate this burden through all the advances in interventional cardiology and pharmacotherapy from 2000 to present. CR has a long history since the mid-1940s, with more global diffusion since the 2000s.
