World Heart Federation Roadmap on Cardiac Rehabilitation - Global Symposium & Implementation Workshop |
On 7th October, global leaders in cardiovascular health came together in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the World Heart Federation Roadmap on Cardiac Rehabilitation Symposium & Implementation Workshop.
Coordinated by Prof Julie Redfern, Dr Dion Candelaria and the SOLVE-CHD team in collaboration with the World Heart Federation (WHF), the workshop brought together researchers, clinicians and cardiovascular leaders from across the world to discuss how we can translate the recently published WHF Roadmap on Cardiac Rehabilitation and its companion Implementation paper into meaningful action.
Through global snapshots, round-table discussions and collaborative action planning, participants shared experiences from different countries and health systems, explored barriers and enablers to cardiac rehabilitation, and identified practical strategies to improve implementation and access worldwide.
It was fantastic to see so many people from across the globe around the same tables, united by a shared goal: making high-quality cardiac rehabilitation accessible to everyone who needs it. A huge thank you to all of our organisers, speakers, facilitators and participants who contributed their expertise, energy and perspectives.

The conversations started in Rio de Janeiro are just the beginning. We look forward to continuing this collaboration and supporting implementation of the Roadmap around the world.

A group model building approach to understanding mental health challenges after a cardiac event
|
|
|
|
|
Mental health is a critical component of recovery following an acute cardiac event, yet the factors shaping mental health across the care continuum are complex and interconnected. This study worked together with people with lived experience of a cardiac event to map how personal, social and health system factors influence mental health throughout the cardiac care journey.
