Introduction: The high prevalence of co-morbidly among cardiac patients may result in undesired con- sequences, which certainly can compromise their managements. Cardiac rehabilitation can be an appropriate adjunctive intervention for amelioration of such morbid processes.
Method and Materials: An open comparative study had been performed between a group of ischemic cardiac patients with depressive symptoms, who received cardiac rehabilitation programs, in addition to their standard treatments (n=30), in comparison with a similar group of ischemic patients who had received only the custom- ary managements (n=30).
Results: Significantly, more patients in the target group (56.6%) gained benefit from cardiac rehabilitation, in comparison with only 30 % of them in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Cardiac rehabilitation seems to be a valuable method for enhancement of improvement in de- pressed ischemic heart patients.
