Abstract
Recent observational studies show an increase of more complex and critically ill patients referred to Italian cardiac rehabilitation (CR) departments; the exact mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, however, have not been clearly identified. The aim of our study was to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical changes that occurred over the last decade in patients hospitalized in CR departments with high admittance rates.
