Cardiac rehabilitation is no longer just used to treat patients after the manifestation of a coronary artery disease such as a myocardial infarct, after a PTCA or after a coronary bypass operation. Patients with a congenital heart disease, patients who have received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and patients with stable chronic heart failure are also suitable candidates for a multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation programme. The new Dutch guidelines for cardiac rehabilitation, published in 2004, can be helpful in identifying potential candidates for a programme. Physical training is often a component of the treatment, but psycho-social counselling and education targeted at reducing anxiety and uncertainty, accepting the heart disease and learning to cope with it, can be just as important as those aspects targeted at improving the physical condition. Cardiac rehabilitation that includes physical training is safe for patients with congenital heart disease, for patients who have undergone an ICD implantation and for patients with stable chronic heart failure, as long as the pretraining exercise test is given a guiding role in selecting the appropriate physical work load. Patients with stable chronic heart failure should continue their physical training in order to maintain its beneficial physical and psychological effects.
