ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction: In Mexico, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) as an interdisciplinary intervention with therapeutic impact in patients with heart disease is growing. There is the need to know actual conditions of CR in our country. Objectives: The objective of this National Registry is to follow-up those existing and new CR units in Mexico through the comparison between the two previous registries, RENAPREC-2009 and RENAPREC II-2015 studies. This is a descriptive study focused on diverse CR activities such as assistance training, and certification of health professionals, barriers, reference, population attended, interdisciplinarity, permanence over time, growth prospects, regulations, post-pandemic condition, integrative characteristics, and scientific research. Results: Data were collected from 45 CR centers in the 32 states, 75.5% are private practice units, 67% are new, 33% were part of RENAPREC II-2015, and 17 have continued since 2009. With a better distribution of CR units along the territory, the median reference of candidates for CR programs is 9% with a significant reduction into tiempo of enrollment to Phase II admission (19 ± 11 days). Regarding to previous registries, the coverance of Phases I, II, and III is 71%, 100%, and 93%, respectively; and a coverance increases in evaluation, risk stratification, and prescription, more comprehensive attendance and prevention strategies. Conclusions: CR in Mexico has grown in the past 7 years. Even there is still low reference and heterogeneity in specific processes, there are strengths such as interdisciplinarity, scientific professionalization of specialists, national diversification, and an official society that are consolidated over time.

ABSTRACT
Resumen El estudio científico del corazón nos ha permitido conocer su estructura y función profundamente, mediante la fragmentación y el análisis de sus partes, atendiendo a las pautas del método que tantos logros nos ha dado. Sin embargo, al momento de volver a ensamblar esos fragmentos analizados nos percatamos de que algo falta; simplemente la suma de las partes no hace al todo. Es así que, desde hace décadas, numerosos científicos han estudiado estrategias novedosas que permitan entender los fenómenos naturales desde modelos más incluyentes, abiertos e integradores, que atiendan con cercanía a las interacciones más que a los componentes. De esta manera, observamos que muchas variables suelen transgredir el plano convencional y parten hacia la no linealidad y la fractalidad, formando un tejido complejo que mantendrá su estructura mientras termodinámicamente sea viable. Así, en este documento se muestra la manera en que el estudio no lineal de la dinámica compleja cardiovascular comienza a darnos luz en muchas de las preguntas que a diario se plantea el cardiólogo clínico.
Abstract The science-based study of the heart has allowed us to know its structure and function deeply, through the fragmentation and analysis of its parts, following the guidelines that so many achievements have given to us. However, at the time of reassembling those analyzed fragments, we realize that something is missing; the simply sum of the parts is not equal to everything. Thus, for decades, numerous scientists have studied novel strategies that allow us understanding, every natural phenomena from a more inclusive, open and integrative models, which closely address to interactions rather than components. In this way, we can observe how, the behavior of many variables usually transgress the conventional plane and moves towards non-linearity and fractality, making a complex tissue that will maintain its structure while thermodynamically viable. Thus, this document shows the way how, the non-linear study of complex cardiovascular dynamics, begins to give us answers to many questions that the clinical cardiologist poses every day.
ABSTRACT
Resumen Los pacientes que sufren una enfermedad cardiovascular requieren de atención médica integral que involucre las terapias y procedimientos necesarios para reintegrarlos de forma óptima a su vida personal, familiar, laboral y social. Las intervenciones dirigidas a alcanzar dichas metas se incluyen en los programas de rehabilitación cardiaca. Estos programas son diseáados para limitar los efectos dañinos tanto fisiológicos como psicológicos de las cardiopatías, reducir el riesgo de muerte súbita o reinfarto, controlar la sintomatología cardiovascular, estabilizar o revertir el proceso de aterosclerosis y mejorar el estado psicosocial y vocacional de los pacientes. Dichos programas existen en México desde la década de 1940 y han evolucionado a lo largo de los años, adaptándose a las condiciones de enfermedad presentes en nuestro país, desde su inicio con terapias para tratar a pacientes cardiopatía reumática hasta la aplicación del ejercicio físico en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca, cardiopatías congénitas complejas o hipertensión arterial pulmonar. Estas actividades son de índole transdisciplinaria e implica la integración de cardiólogos, fisioterapeutas, psicólogos y nutriólogos, entre otros. Actualmente, estos programas se han extendido a lo largo de la República Mexicana gracias a cardiólogos rehabilitadores egresados de las principales instituciones de salud del país, como son los Institutos de Salud, el IMSS (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social) y el ISSSTE (Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales para los Trabajadores del Estado). En este documento se expondrán los orígenes de la rehabilitación, desde la época prehispánica hasta la actual, destacando las contribuciones en docencia e investigación de los médicos que han ejercido en esta área en las instituciones previamente mencionadas.
Abstract Patients suffering from cardiovascular disease require comprehensive medical attention that involves therapies and procedures necessary to reintegrate them optimally to their personal, family, work and social life. Interventions aimed at achieving these goals are included in cardiac rehabilitation programs. These programs are designed to limit the harmful physiological and psychological effects of heart disease, reduce the risk of sudden death or reinfarction, control cardiovascular symptoms, stabilize or reverse the atherosclerosis process and improve the psychosocial and vocational status of patients. These programs have existed in Mexico since the 1940's and have evolved over the years, adapting to the disease conditions present in our country, starting with therapies to treat patients with rheumatic heart disease until the application of physical exercise in patients with heart failure, complex congenital heart disease or pulmonary arterial hypertension. These activities are of a transdisciplinary nature and involve the integration of cardiologists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and nutritionists among others. Currently, these programs have spread throughout the Mexican Republic thanks to rehabilitation cardiologists graduating from the main health institutions in the country such as Health Institutes, Mexican Social Security Institute and Institute of Security and Social Services of State Workers. In this document, the origins of rehabilitation from the pre-Hispanic era to the present will be discussed, highlighting the contributions in teaching and research of the physicians who have practiced in this area in the aforementioned institutions.
