Preface

Exercise based cardiac rehabilitation has multiple, proven benefits for the patients with coronary artery disease. Exercise therapy has become a standard therapy for the treatment of coronary artery disease across the world. It is increasingly recommended by professionals. While exercise therapy for patients with severe coronary artery disease should be performed under the guidance of medical professionals, many patients can reap the benefits of the exercise therapy in the comforts of their own homes by following professional instructions. This publication is a product of a comprehensive collaboration between professionals in related fields, it is a highly applicable sports rehabilitation instruction book. This book will surely help readers on the path towards recovery, and I strongly recommend it without reservations.

Congratulation!
