Core Tip	Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program designed to maintain or improve cardiovascular health, and should be considered as an important treatment strategy in patients after cardiac surgery. It has multiple beneficial effects on functional capacity, endothelial and skeletal muscle function, and quality of life. Recent advances have been made in cardiac rehabilitation during the last decades, including the use of artificial intelligence, simulation, telemedicine and virtual cardiac rehabilitation that improve compliance. As a result, reduced hospital readmissions and decreased healthcare costs are being observed in the modern healthcare systems.
