What is the recommendation of NICE 2018 for people with heart failure?
NICE 2018 recommends that people with heart failure receive a personalised, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programme, unless their condition is unstable. The programme should be preceded by an assessment to ensure that it is suitable for the person, should be provided in a format and setting (at home, in the community or in the hospital) that is easily accessible for the person, should include a psychological and educational component, may be incorporated within an existing cardiac rehabilitation programme, and should be accompanied by information about support available from healthcare professionals when the person is doing the programme.
