Overview

Brief Summary

Implement an intensive cardiac rehabilitation program at Arkansas Heart Hospital (AHH) to find out if the AHH-ICR is equivalent to the CMS approved programs when it comes to results.

Detailed Description

Implement the ICR Program to determine if 1. AHH-ICR will increase patients physical and psychological well-being and is non-superior/comparable to current ICR programs. 2. To determine the most appropriate ICR program protocols to improve fitness and decrease cardiovascular risk factors. 3. To determine if the ICR program has a direct relationship to improvements in the health of cardiovascular patients. 4. To determine non-inferiority to already established ICR programs in the United States.
