Abstract

Aims. To investigate the long‐term benefits of a six‐week comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation programme on physical activity, psychological well‐being and quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease.

Patients completed the physical activity energy expenditure (seven‐day recall activity), MacNew Heart Disease Health‐Related Quality of Life (MacNew) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADs) at baseline, six weeks, six and 12 months.

Analysis of variance revealed that total energy expenditure (F (2, 231) = 131, p
