    AbstractGiven the prevalence of chronic coronary disease, efforts should be made toward risk factor modification. Cardiac rehabilitation is a secondary prevention program consisting of tailored exercise and lifestyle counseling and has been shown to not only reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality but also improve quality of life and exercise capacity. Despite the benefits, it remains underutilized. Efforts should be made to increase referral for patients with chronic coronary disease to aid in symptom management and reduction of cardiovascular risk factors.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
