title: [Current research in cardiologic rehabilitation in Germany].
abstract: Within a few years a lack of research in cardiologic rehabilitation in Germany has changed to a boom in scientific work in that field. The short-term results of inpatient programs, collected in a number of multicenter studies, are available today. Long-term outcomes of these programs will be published soon. The main problem in Germany today is not the lack of research anymore but the poor reputation of rehabilitation in public and the missing acceptance of the published outcomes. In future the problem of preserving short-term rehabilitation benefits in the long run and economic questions will become more important.
