• CPET-based prescription: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing for precise dose
• Telehealth CR: Home-based programs with remote monitoring available

• Post-CABG, PCI, valve surgery
• Stable heart failure (NYHA II-III)
• Cardiomyopathy, stable angina, post-heart transplant

Outcomes

VO2peak improvement: 15-25%. Quality of life improvement: substantial. Mortality reduction at 5 years: 20-30%. Rehospitalization reduction: 30-40%. Return to work: faster by 2-4 weeks on average.
