The baseline exercise test remains the gold standard approach to prescribing exercise among heart disease patients.
Aerobic exercise is a central component of cardiac rehabilitation. Leading organizations recommend that exercise prescriptions be based on a baseline symptom-limited graded exercise test. However, clinicians must be prepared to safely develop and monitor patients when baseline GXT is not performed. Cardiac rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment process that focuses on providing supervised aerobic exercise training, along with the provision of ancillary services (eg, nutritional counseling, smoking cessation, psychosocial support) for patients with medical conditions like cardiovascular diseases. The prescription of safe and progressive exercise programs in cardiac rehabilitation is essential to improve functional capacity, which is a key prognostic indicator for cardiovascular disease patients.
