title: Healthier hearts.
abstract: An increase in physical activity is the primary aim of rehabilitation programmes for coronary heart disease and is known to be associated with reduced mortality. This study also examined long-term psychological wellbeing and quality of life. After a six-week cardiac rehabilitation programme, 105 participants completed scores relating to physical activity, quality of life, anxiety and depression at baseline, six weeks and 12 months. Benefits in all measures were still apparent at 12 months.
