Rehabilitation of Cardiovascular Diseases in China
Abstract
The Annual Report on Cardiovascular Health and Diseases in China (2022) intricate landscape of cardiovascular health in China. In connection with the previous section, this 12th section of the report offers a comprehensive analysis of rehabilitation of cardiovascular diseases. In recent years, China’s cardiac rehabilitation has developed vigorously, and its clinical benefits have been proven by more and more evidences. More cardiac rehabilitation centers are built and standards are constantly being promoted. Despite the rapid development and progress, there are still major shortcomings in the current situation, such as lack of awareness among patients and families about the significance and importance of cardiac rehabilitation, and under participation in cardiac rehabilitation; the development of cardiac rehabilitation is uneven, with the majority concentrated in tertiary hospitals in economically developed areas; lack of high-level evidence-based evidences, quality control and safety standards need to be improved; the medical payment system is not thorough; lack of a systematic training and admission system, hindering the development of cardiac rehabilitation in China. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to strengthen the construction of cardiac rehabilitation centers, which should sink from tertiary hospitals to secondary and primary medical service centers; encourage clinical research on cardiac rehabilitation; introduce consensus on quality control and safety standards; explore more on phase III cardiac rehabilitation; increase investment in integrating high-tech, artificial intelligence, etc. With the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, exploring a Chinese characteristic cardiac rehabilitation model that is in line with China’s national conditions. Evidence-based medicine has confirmed that rehabilitation is the most effective method to reduce the disability rate of stroke, and it is also an indispensable key sector in the organized management model of stroke. Rehabilitation should span the entire process of stroke treatment. Perfecting the rehabilitation medical management system, steadily improving the rehabilitation medical service capacity, expanding diversified service methods, and emphasizing early and whole-range rehabilitation treatment have important clinical value and social significance for stroke rehabilitation.
