Two factors contributed to this increase: new centers that between them rehabilitated 427 patients; and a tripling of the number rehabilitated in existing centers, from 455 in 2007 to 1232 in 2013. The increase in patients rehabilitated in private centers was less marked (from 183 in 2007 to 268 in 2013) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0065">Table 5</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0065"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">CAD was the most common referral diagnosis, accounting for over two-thirds of admissions: 51.8% following MI, 6.5% after coronary surgery, 2.9% after elective percutaneous coronary intervention, and 7.9% due to stable CAD.

This represents a significant increase in the number of public centers over the years, from only two in 1998 (Belém Military Hospital, a pioneering public center that began activity in 1988, and Centro Hospitalar de Vila Nova de Gaia, which began offering CR in 1993) to seven in 2004 and 2007, and 12 in 2014.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There was also a significant rise in the number of patients attending phase II programs, the number tripling between 2007 and 2013, from 683 to 1927. Public centers were largely responsible for this increase, rehabilitating 86% of patients, while private centers rehabilitated only 14%. It was not possible to compare patient numbers for the other CR program phases since these were not quantified in earlier surveys.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">MI was the most common diagnosis of participants in CR programs, as in previous surveys. Nevertheless, based on DGS data for hospital morbidity, only 8% of MI patients attended phase II programs in Portugal in 2013. This figure, while clearly better than the 3% identified in the 2007 survey, is still lower than the European average.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0205"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> In the European Cardiac Rehabilitation Inventory Survey by Bjarnason-Wehrens et al. in 2009, the mean percentage of eligible patients admitted to CR programs in Europe was 30%, while in the UK, Sweden, Luxemburg and Germany the figure was around 50%. Almost half of the countries included in this survey had legislation regarding phase II CR; for example, in Germany, CR following MI has been guaranteed by law since 1974, and has led to the development of a network of 170 CR centers.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0205"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> There are several reasons for the low percentage of patients undergoing CR in Portugal, including an insufficient number of CR centers and their asymmetrical geographical distribution, incompatibility between program timetables and working hours, economic restraints (such as patients’ share of treatment costs and travel expenses), and a lack of awareness of CR on the part of patients and physicians, leading to low rates of referral.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We hope that publishing the results of the latest survey will encourage the establishment of new CR programs, particularly in centers outside of Porto and Lisbon, thus helping to reduce the considerable asymmetry in geographical distribution that currently exists. It is essential to develop a national network of centers offering CR. All hospitals with cardiology departments should have phase I and II programs,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a> and be actively involved in phase III, possibly in association with health centers in the community. Most hospitals already have the various health professionals needed to form a multidisciplinary CR team, but these are usually occupied in other duties and few have specific training in this area. As well as training, investment is also needed in facilities and equipment such as ergometers and telemetry monitors, and so the involvement and commitment of health authority decision-making bodies are also essential.</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">At the same time, it is important that existing CR programs should continue to grow and that more eligible patients with diagnoses other than MI, notably those who have undergone cardiac surgery or elective percutaneous coronary intervention, should be referred, while not neglecting those with HF and those with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Improved access to CR could in some cases be achieved by implementing home-based programs based on the model widely used in the UK. Such programs, designed for low-risk patients, are structured interventions with regular patient monitoring, including visits by CR team members to the patient's home and contact by telephone or the internet. A recent review demonstrated that home-based programs appear to be equally effective as those offered in hospitals or clinics. There were no significant differences in outcomes up to 12 months of follow-up or in healthcare costs.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> Each center should develop the model most suited to their particular situation.</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another way to improve access and adherence to CR would be to pass specific legislation promoting secondary prevention and CR programs aimed at, for example, reducing or abolishing patients’ share of treatment costs, subsidizing travel expenses and scheduling sessions to fit in with working hours.</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Initiatives to raise awareness of and provide training in CR also have an important role, both for the general population and patients and for health professionals, particularly physicians. Including a CR component in the training program of cardiology interns would dispel the skepticism and unfounded concerns that still exist and help to make CR an integral part of the spectrum of cardiovascular disease treatment.</p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although much remains to be done, the latest survey identified several positive developments that show that CR in Portugal is consistently evolving in line with international guidelines. The programs have become more comprehensive: besides exercise training, almost all now include risk factor management. Other components such as advice on diet/nutrition and weight control, psychosocial assessment and smoking cessation counseling are available in a large proportion of centers. Patients with conditions that are more recent indications for CR, including those with CRT devices or ICDs, are now being admitted to CR programs and the percentage of patients with HF as the referral diagnosis has risen from 5% to 12.7%. Most phase II programs last 8-12 weeks (two or three sessions a week, making a total of 24-36 sessions), as found in the rest of Europe<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0205"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> and the US,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0220"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> where Medicare has provided coverage for up to three weekly sessions for 12 weeks after MI, coronary bypass surgery or stable coronary disease since 1982, and coverage was later expanded to other indications.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0220"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> Shorter programs offer less opportunity for sustained lifestyle changes.</p><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite the positive developments in Portugal, challenges remain. Investment in cardiovascular disease prevention is essential and CR plays a crucial role in this. Decision-making bodies should be made more aware of the importance of CR programs, which have been shown to be cost-effective.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0225"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22,23</span></a></p></span><span id="sec0060" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0130">Conclusions</span><p id="par0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The number of centers offering CR programs and the volume of patients rehabilitated increased considerably between 2007 and 2013-14. The percentage of MI patients referred for CR increased from 3% to 8%, and HF patients are increasingly admitted to such programs. The latest survey showed that CR has shown consistent growth and evolved in line with international guidelines. Nevertheless, Portugal remains below the European average in CR, and further improvements are still needed.</p></span><span id="sec0065" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span
