| Abstract: | A very large number of Americans die from Coronary heart disease (CHD); a large number survive. It is the goal of cardiac rehabilitation to restore the physical and economic status of individuals suffering from CHD. This paper reviews current CHD statistics, summarizes the factors that are known to cause CHD, traces the evolution of cardiac rehabilitation programs, and, finally, provides a new perspective for rehabilitating CHD patients based on job simulation. |
