Summary: | The Italian Association for Cardiovascular Rehabilitation and Prevention (ITACARE-P) and the Italian Federation of Associations of Hospital Doctors on Internal Medicine (FADOI) released a joint position paper to guide referrals of cardiovascular patients discharged from Internal Medicine (IM) wards to Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) facilities. The document provides rationale and operative recommendations for appropriateness (i.e. qualifying diagnoses) and priority criteria to overcome the mismatch between potential demand and effective supply of CR programmes. In case of no-referral due to logistic barriers, the document recommends the adoption of best alternatives to CR for disability reduction, better prognosis, and improvement of quality of life. The joint position paper is also aimed to promote the consideration of IM as a potential stakeholder of CR. |
