Abstract

A 62 years-old male with medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, primary hypertension, chronic kidney disease, dyslipidemia, and ischemic cardiomyopathy was consulted. The patient had a coronary bypass surgery. He received medical treatment since then and his clinical condition greatly improved. It was found that the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improved the functional capacity and reduced the cardiovascular risk factors. This case report shows the importance of cardiac rehabilitation programs and how it improves the quality of life for patients with heart failure, and hence, we recommend to have more centers specialized in this program in Saudi Arabia.
