Abstract
Aim. This review discusses the studies that have investigated the effect of cardiac rehabilitation programs on people with Covid-19.
Background. It has been previously revealed the profits of cardiac rehabilitation for patients who suffer from cardiovascular diseases. With the occurrence of the covid-19 pandemic, many have suffered from cardiovascular complications due to the coronavirus infection. Despite the application of many medications and therapeutic interventions to control the side effects, many are still experiencing the secondary complications of the disease, specifically the cardiovascular complications, and the search for an effective solution continues. The use of cardiac rehabilitation for these patients may be effective.
Method. A broad search was conducted in scientific databases and search engines such as Science Direct, PubMed, Cochrane, Medline, SID, Scopus, CINAHL, OVID, Iran Doc, and Magiran with the keyboards “Covid-19”, “post covid-19 period”, “cardiac rehabilitation” and “rehabilitation” in both English and Persian language journals published between 2000 and 2022. After a comprehensive review, nine studies that met the purpose of this study were selected.
Findings. Cardiac rehabilitation programs decrease complications, mortality, and readmission of people with Covid-19, and modify the signs, physical and cardiovascular functions, and the quality of life in these patients.
Conclusion. For finer efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation programs, designating a program suited for the patient's condition, schedule adherence, and evaluation of the findings should be considered. It seems that cardiac rehabilitation programs can be beneficial for people with Covid-19 in reducing complications and mortality rates. More studies are needed for more information.
