With improved survival and and ageing population, the number of people living with coronary heart disease in the UK has increased to an estimated 2.3 million. There is increasing evidence that cardiac rehabilitation benefits these patients, and as such it has been included in international clinical guidelines.
To discuss cardiac rehabilitation in this podcast, we're joined by Hasnain Dalal, a GP and honorary clinical associate professor at the University of Exeter Medical School, Rod Taylor, academic lead for Exeter Clinical Trials Support Network and NIHR senior investigator, and Jenny Wingham, a senior clinical researcher in cardiac rehabilitation.
