Did you know?

Only 10 to 30 percent of eligible heart patients utilize cardiac rehabilitation (CR), despite its recognition as a standard of care by the American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Hospital Association (AHA), American College of Chest Physicians (AACP) and AACVPR. As healthcare systems begin to emphasize chronic disease management, make sure your profession is heard.

Launched in June 2012, the AACVPR Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation Registry collects data from programs just like yours to help build a stronger case for CR. Our growing network currently encompasses more than 12,000 patient records and 320 active CR programs across 41 states.
