Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program: Results of Article Summary

This literature review summarizes the results of articles related to cardiovascular rehabilitation (CRP). Initially, 150 studies were screened, with 23 meeting the inclusion criteria after database searches in Google Scholar, PubMed, and Medline, involving a selection process based on titles, abstracts, and table of contents. The review encompasses various study designs, including mixed methodology, qualitative analysis, systematic scoping reviews, and randomized control trials. Key findings highlight the importance of exercise and education in primary cardiac care, with consideration for factors like patient depression, as noted by Bhagwat et al. (2016). Effective CRP development requires interactive sessions with healthcare professionals, as suggested by Banner et al. (2015), and lifestyle changes, including diet and physical activity, as emphasized by Butland et al. (2019). Psychological factors also play a significant role in the success of CRP.

INTRODUCTION
Results section
For this review, number of studies screen were 150. out of all of these studies only 63
studies were eligible for this review. But on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria only 23
studies were included and remaining all the studies were excluded.
For searching appropriate and accurate studies to be included for the study, three main
databases were searched, first is Google Scholar, PubMed, and Medline. All the studies selected
were only searched on these three databases available online ans most of the studies are easily
available on all of these databases. In order to select appropriate studies. More than 600 number
of hits were identified for searching for appropriate studies. In order to select articles for this
study first of all their title was observed and if title consisted of required and important key
words then their abstract was read. If abstract provided required information, then its table of
content was observed and lastly type of data collected, its publisher etc. were seen.
For this review different types of studies were selected and each of them had different
methodologies and study design. Most of the studies were of mixed methodology, qualitative
analysis of interviews, systematic scoping review, integrative literature review, qualitative
analysis of semi- structured interview, Quasi-experimental pre-post test design, quantitative
analysis using cross sectional survey, randomized control trial, statistical analysis, descriptive
analysis, thematic analysis. Each of these were selected on the basis of criteria set for inclusion
and exclusion of studies so that studies selected can be provide all the required details of
Cardiovascular Rehabilitation.
Articles Summary:
From the articles it was summarized that in order to provide primary care to patients
suffering from cardiac diseases or issues require proper and effective exercise, education for
development of and effective Cardiovascular Rehabilitation. From the results of Bhagwat et al,
(2016) it was identified that if a patient is suffering from depression then it can directly hamper
management of primary care. For Cardiovascular Rehabilitation it is extremely important to
evaluate whether patient is suffering from depression or not and if yes it becomes important to
deal with their depression as well. For this it becomes important for GP's to identify non-referred
points like this, and include it in Cardiovascular Rehabilitation for identifying and developing
3

alternative home- based programs. Whereas as per the results of Banner et al, (2015) in order to
develop a CRP it becomes extremely important to identify and schedule one to one interactive
session involving nurse care manager, exercise specialist, dietician, organize weekly education
session. This directly helps in updating knowledge of patients and effectively of CRP program
can be increased.
There are various other articles that further helped in understanding that there are various
components that are required to be focused upon for developing and delivering effective cardiac
rehabilitation program. Different types of people or group have different needs and requirement
that directly help in increasing effectiveness of CR program. As per the finding of study of
Butland et al, (2019) it was identified that changes within behaviour, lifestyle and as adoption
of healthy diet, including physical activity can directly help in effectiveness of CRP. But many
times these factors can affect Crp in negative manner as well such as psychological stress,
isolation ETC.
