Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation versus Cardiac Rehabilitation in Patients Suffering from Coronary Artery Diseases and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract

OPD is common treatable and preventable chronic disease characterized by persistent and progressive airflow limitation caused by increase airway and lung inflammatory response to noxious particles and gases. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a broad therapeutic concept. It is defined by the American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society as a comprehensive intervention based on a thorough patient assessment followed by patient tailored therapies that include, but are not limited to, exercise training and behavior change, designed to improve the physical and psychological condition of people with chronic respiratory disease and to promote the long-term adherence to health-enhancing behaviors and it is recommended in the management of all classes of COPD according to GOLD 2017.
