The aim of the Textbook of Cardiovascular Prevention and
Rehabilitation is to provide practical guidance for all
cardiologists and other health personnel engaged in the management
of cardiac patients. The book will follow the concept of "seamless
care service," i.e. a streamlined combination of preventive and
rehabilitative methods in order both to add years to life and life
to years. It will consist of eight sections.
Commencing with an introductory section it will focus on
guidelines, prevention, risk stratification and the evidence base
of cardiac rehabilitation. In the following three sections
different models for exercise testing and training, nutritional
counselling and smoking cessation will be presented. The behavioral
section contains health-related quality of life and psychological
issues, patient education, compliance and adherence to the
treatment program. In the social section the return to work, the
role of relatives, heart foundations etc. will be discussed.
Groups with special needs will be highlighted in the seventh
section, which will address children with cardiac disease, elderly,
women, heart failure and cardiac transplantation patients, patients
with ICD or after valve surgery. The final section comprises
evaluation options. quality assurance and organisational matters
i.e. program design, staff training, safety, documentation and a
health-economic cost review; even national program differences will
be debated.
Each section will contain a short summary and tables with
practical guidance statements. Furthermore, all sections will be
formatted as to follow the natural course of cardiovascular
disease, starting off with focus on primary preventivecare and
finishing with the demands on rehabilitation of the patient with
advanced disease, thus following the "seamless care" concept.
