The University of Crete has
launched a new English-taught Postgraduate Programme in ”Exercise and Exercise-based rehabilitation
in patients with cardiovascular diseases”.

Cardiac rehabilitation is a
multidisciplinary process for patients recovering after an acute cardiac event or
with chronic cardiovascular disease that reduces mortality and morbidity and
improves quality of life. It is considered a cost-effective intervention and is
expressly indicated in all medical guidelines of the major societies in
cardiovascular medicine. On the other hand, exercise and rehabilitation in
patients with cardiovascular diseases should strike a balance between the
multiple benefits of exercise and the small risk of sudden death and adverse
events during strenuous effort. The aim of the program is to build an
interdisciplinary training with the most current approach in rehabilitation
practice and exercise guidance, which has an explosive dynamic and is still
underdeveloped in most areas across Europ.
