Significant Statistics
Cardiovascular disease accounts for almost 50% of all deaths in the U.S.
Utilization Trends
Nearly 12.5 million Americans are eligible for cardiac rehab (secondary prevention) On average only 15% of these eligible candidates receive cardiac rehabilitation ranges between 11% and 30% depending on the area of the country
Risk Factors
Tobacco Smoking and Chew 50% decreased risk of CHD 1 year after cessation
Hypertension 90% middle-aged Americans will develop HTN 35 million office visits/yr for HTN
Risk Factors
Hyperlipidemia 105,000,000 people with a tot chol > 200 10% reduction in TC = 30% reduction in incidence of CAD
Physical Inactivity $76 billion > 60% of Americans dont get sufficient exercise
Risk Factors
Obesity More than 50% women and 60% men are overweight or obese Nearly 300,000 American adults die of causes related to obesity
Diabetes 58% reduction by lifestyle intervention 75% of people w/DM die of CAD or vascular disease
Exercise Research
Direct relation between inactivity and cardiovascular mortality. Inactivity is an independent risk factor for of CAD. Exercise capacity is a more powerful predictor of mortality among men than other established risk factors for CAD.
Physical fitness has been clearly associated with improvements in lipid profiles.
Medical Research
Cardiac Rehab Professionals remain educated on the latest medical research New information is presented to your patients, so they can make informed decisions with you, their physician
Cost-effectiveness/ Cost-efficiency
Medicare payments in hospital for CVD in 1997 was $26.9 billion! Studies, adjusted for quality of life, show savings of $4,950-$9,200 per year of life saved. Reduction in re-hospitalizations and medical costs are well documented.
Cardiac patients have many disease processes and lifestyle concerns that have contributed to their heart disease.
Cardiac rehab serves the needs of each cardiac patient and works toward secondary prevention. Cardiac rehab adds VALUE to your patient care and increases QUALITY OF LIFE!
