[The control of risk factors in cardiac rehabilitation programs].
Patients with ischaemic heart disease are at high risk of developing new clinical cardiac events and cardiac death in the following years. Appropriate Secondary Prevention Programs have proved to be useful both to slow the progression of coronary disease and to decrease the probability of new clinical events and the overall mortality. Cardiac rehabilitation programs constitute the best current approach directed to the modification of risk factors. The programs have not only significantly improved the risk profile of ischaemic patients but also have contributed to the acceptance of new healthy life style.
