Acute myocardial infarction is one of the main causes of mortality nowadays. The introduction of effective cardio-rehabilitation programs for patients with severe coronary heart disease is an important tool for improving of life’s quality and duration. In most of the recommendations, cardio-rehabilitation has Class I A level of evidence. The plan of rehabilitation should be individual and based on pre-made stratification of risk, determining the level of functional capacity and specific needs of the patient. Today, in addition to the traditional model of cardio-rehabilitation, which includes 4 stages, alternative models with the use of personalized telemedicine, focusing on an individual profile of risk factors, as well as community and home-based programs that take into account the possibility of choosing for patients according to their needs and benefits, are proposed.
