(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 1: Introduction: Translating Clinical Knowledge into Clinical Actions. The focus of this introductory chapter is to provide readers with a broad overview of CPGs and this CPG in particular. The chapter examines the continuum of CVD care, the action gap between clinical knowledge and clinical practice implementation, why CR should be integrated into standard CVD care, and how CR historically was, and remains, the quintessential example of chronic disease care. This chapter also explores the benefits and limitations of CPGs and some of the problems in their development and implementation. The specific process of CPG development by the CACR is presented followed by a brief summary highlighting each chapter within these CPGs.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 4: The Principles of Chronic Disease Care. This chapter is a new addition to the CACR Guidelines. It provides a detailed description of chronic disease management, and in particular, the chronic care model as described by Wagner et al., 2001. The chronic care model is applied to CR and examples of outcomes that may be expected if the chronic care model is employed are described.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 5: Cardiac Rehabilitation as Chronic Disease Care. The rich evidence base supporting the practice of CR is presented in this chapter. New and emerging evidence with respect to the beneficial effects of exercise therapy and CVD risk factor modification on vascular biology and cellular DNA stability is presented. Information regarding the cost-effectiveness of CR and the potential cost-savings that may be realized by CR programs is also presented.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 6: Behavioural and Psychosocial Issues in Cardiovascular Disease and Cardiac Rehabilitation. The complex issues of behavioural modification, psychosocial assessment, sleep hygiene, sexual health and their appropriate treatments are presented in this chapter. There is an in depth discussion of the science behind behaviour change theory and a detailed analysis of the effects of depression and anxiety on cardiovascular disease outcomes.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 7: Return to Work. This is a new chapter for these guidelines. It emphasizes the essential nature of vocational assessments within CR programs, the importance of establishing medical stability before returning to work, and the need to consider physical requirements, job characteristics, environmental factors and the individual’s functional capacity in return to work decisions.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 8: Nutrition and Diet Therapy. This chapter outlines the basic building blocks of a healthy diet including protein, fat, carbohydrate, fibre, trace elements, and antioxidants and highlights some of the latest research concerning plant-based diets and low-carbohydrate diets. The chapter emphasizes the positive approach to dietary interventions by highlighting what should be included in a healthy diet rather than what should be excluded.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 9: Health Behaviour Interventions and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Modification. This chapter was written in conjunction with the Canadian Vascular Coalition. As a consequence of their direct input, this chapter is the first fully consolidated and harmonized presentation of cardiovascular health recommendations with respect to physical activity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemias, obesity, and smoking cessation in Canada.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition-Chapter 10: Risk Stratification, Exercise Prescription, and Program Safety. The key to safe and successful CR is risk stratification regarding the likelihood of recurrent acute coronary syndromes and exercise-associated adverse CVD events. This chapter explores how an individual’s cardiometabolic fitness (functional capacity + CVD risk factor burden) is one of the major determinants of sustained CVD wellness.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 11: Program Models for Cardiac Rehabilitation. Cardiac rehabilitation programs are multi-faceted, inter-disciplinary, multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary environments which focus on the delivery of chronic CVD services. This chapter, using experience gained from the Ontario CR Pilot Project, expands on these concepts with an emphasis on comprehensive CR services in both the in-patient and out-patient settings. The chapter also examines the core components of CR and alternative programs such as home-based cardiac rehabilitation.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 12: Program Administration and Human Resources. The art and science of program administration are presented and discussed in this chapter. All CR professionals would benefit from carefully reading this chapter and integrating these principle and practices into their own CR programs. The personnel section of this chapter has been reworked and core competencies for CR professionals have been identified. In addition, basic and preferred qualifications for CR personnel are presented.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 13: Information Management, Quality Metrics, Performance Measures and Outcomes Assessment. This chapter builds on the information contained within the Second Edition of these guidelines. There is an explanation of the concept of performance measures, particularly those contained within the CACR CCRR.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 14: Special Populations. One of the most popular and widely read chapters of the previous guidelines was that of Special Populations within CR programs. We are all challenged almost daily to provide innovative, yet safe and effective, CR services to these unique patients. This chapter expands on the previous guidelines and includes extensive new information on pacemaker and ICD patients along with information on CR in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 15: Research Opportunities in Cardiac Rehabilitation. The production of CPGs often leads to the identification of areas where solid scientific evidence for clinical practice recommendations is lacking. Although many larger CR programs have active basic science affiliations and clinical research programs, smaller CR programs can also engage in meaningful clinical research. In this chapter, a number of potential research projects and ideas within a wide array of cardiovascular topics are presented.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 16: The Future of Cardiac Rehabilitation and Chronic Cardiovascular Disease Care. If chronic disease care programs such as CR are to be effective, they must begin to function within a social environment that respects and fosters the principles of healthy living and healthy communities. This chapter expands on many of the goals of the Canadian Heart Health Strategy, particularly the leading role CR programs need to take in the provision of chronic CVD services. It also peers into the future to see where CR is likely going but also examines where it has been.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 2: The Burden of Cardiovascular Disease in Canada This chapter examines the epidemiology of CVD with a unique emphasis on the demographics and geography of Canada. The epidemiology of CVD risk factors in Canada is presented, including such major public health care problems as obesity and excessive alcohol consumption, along with information on newly identified CVD risk markers and disease complexes such as the metabolic syndrome and erectile dysfunction.

(PDF) ACRC directives 3e edition -Chapter 3: The Pathophysiology of Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Disease This chapter examines the current thinking and scientific evidence regarding atherosclerosis with particular emphasis on the chronic inflammatory, relapsing and recurring nature of this disease process. The importance of vascular endothelial oxidative stress as a driving force behind the inflammatory nature of atherosclerosis and the substantial positive effects health behaviour interventions and pharmacological therapies can have on levels of vascular oxidative stress are also discussed. The chapter also explores the processes behind atherosclerotic disease progression, regression, and stabilization.
