Cardiovascular Rehabilitation

The British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation defines five core components for cardiac rehabilitation.

The five core components of cardiovascular rehabilitation are:

  • Health behaviour change and education
  • Lifestyle risk factor management
  • Medical risk management
  • Psychosocial health
  • Long-term strategies
Physical activity and exercise sits within the 'lifestyle risk factor management' component.
