Abstract

 This review article aimed to enlighten evidence-informed researchers and clinicians with a descriptive overview of systematic reviews and metaanalyses on exercises for cardiac rehabilitation from PubMed. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR) includes either exercise training administered alone or exercise training in addition to psychosocial, risk factor management and/or educational interventions and was considered a Class I indication [i.e., useful and effective] for patients with coronary heart disease.There were six systematic reviews that measured risk factors, clinical and quality of life outcomes following exercise training in cardiac rehabilitation; and five other systematic reviews included one each on high-intensity interval training, resistance training, aerobic training, Chinese Qiqong exercise and physical activity prescription. Overall, there is high-level evidence suggesting exercises as per earlier evidence-based recommendations.
