The PDF is the 2026 ESC Guidelines on Cardiac Rehabilitation, a 99-page clinical guideline. It covers cardiac rehabilitation from referral through long-term follow-up.

Topic map

  1. Purpose and scope of cardiac rehabilitation
    • What cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is
    • Phases of CR: hospital, outpatient, and long-term care
    • Why CR matters: function, quality of life, prevention, and reduced hospital use
  2. Patient perspectives and outcomes
    • Patient goals, expectations, and satisfaction
    • Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)
    • Shared decision-making and personalised goals
  3. Evidence, benefits, cost-effectiveness, and safety
    • Clinical and quality-of-life benefits
    • Early initiation after cardiac events or surgery
    • Exercise safety and contraindications
  4. Who should receive CR
    • Acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, PCI, CABG, chronic coronary syndrome
    • Heart failure, transplant, and LVAD
    • Valve disease and TAVI/SAVR
    • Adult congenital heart disease
    • Atrial fibrillation and post-ablation care
    • Pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices
    • Cardiomyopathies and pulmonary hypertension
    • Cancer treatment-related cardiovascular risk
    • Frailty and multimorbidity
  5. Quality standards and multidisciplinary team
    • Facilities, staff, governance, programme quality measures
    • Roles of cardiologists, nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists, pharmacists, social workers, and others
  6. Core components of CR
    • Baseline assessment and risk stratification
    • Self-management, education, health literacy, and behaviour change
    • Medication optimisation
    • Physical activity and reducing sedentary time
    • Exercise prescription and training
    • Diet, weight, obesity, malnutrition, sarcopenia
    • Smoking cessation
    • Psychosocial care
    • Sexual counselling
    • Frailty, comorbidity, environmental risks, and return to work
  7. Digital CR and telerehabilitation
    • Telehealth, wearable devices, mobile apps, remote monitoring
    • Clinical decision support, artificial intelligence, implanted-device monitoring
  8. Ways to deliver CR
    • Centre-based, home-based, fully remote, and hybrid programmes
    • Selecting the appropriate model for risk, preferences, and access
  9. Improving access and adherence
    • Automatic referral, clinician encouragement, flexible programmes
    • Barriers such as distance, cost, work, caring responsibilities, and poor awareness
  10. Equity and personalisation
  • Tailoring CR for women, ethnic minority groups, younger people, older people, frail patients, and people with complex conditions
  1. Long-term management and research gaps
  • Maintaining lifestyle changes after the formal programme
  • Areas where evidence remains limited

High-level easy-read summary

Cardiac rehabilitation is not exercise alone. It is a structured, personalised programme after a heart condition, procedure, or cardiac event. It combines safe exercise with education, medication review, diet, smoking cessation, mental-health support, and help returning to normal life.
The central message is: refer eligible patients early and tailor the programme. CR should begin as soon as medically safe, particularly after acute coronary syndrome, CABG, or stabilised heart failure. The intensity, monitoring, and delivery setting should match the person’s cardiac risk, physical ability, comorbidities, goals, and preferences.
Exercise is a core treatment, but it must be individualised. Aerobic and resistance training are commonly combined. Higher-intensity intervals may suit selected, medically cleared patients under appropriate supervision. Frail patients need gradual progression, strength and balance work, nutritional support, and closer monitoring.
Long-term success depends on more than attendance. Patients need understandable education, goal setting, self-monitoring, psychological support, medication adherence, and practical ways to remain active after formal rehabilitation ends. Home-based, remote, and hybrid models can make CR more accessible when they retain all essential programme components.
