Abstract
A pre-participation medical assessment before cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is mandatory in order to deliver a safe programme tailored to the individual patient. This initial evaluation also aims to increase patient adherence and the efficiency of the programme. The entry assessment includes the following components: history, global patient evaluation including clinical questionnaires, physical examination, laboratory analysis, and non-invasive cardiovascular testing. Following this assessment, a risk stratification should be performed to determine the appropriate CR modalities.
