"Approximately two thirds of patients in the United States who survive a heart attack do not undergo outpatient cardiac rehabilitation, a program proven to reduce the risk of illness and death, and to also improve psychological recovery, according to findings reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta...Make 'em pay back any money the public surrendered for their care.
Just 34.7 percent of heart attack survivors participated in outpatient cardiac rehab, which usually includes a number of interventions to address modifiable cardiac risk factors, as well as psychosocial counseling. The District of Columbia had the lowest usage rate at 22.6 percent, while Nebraska had the highest rate at 59.1 percent."
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
