Ischemic heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the world. The occurrence of ischemic heart disease is influenced by many risk factors, such as smoking, unhealthy diet, high levels of stress and lack of physical activity. Although treatment has significantly improved with the organization of a network of primary percutaneous intervention for management of acute myocardial infarction, a significant number of patients still die. Complications of myocardial infarction and reinfarction are common, but with proper cardiac rehabilitation and prevention, their frequency can be reduced. Physiotherapy of cardiac patients requires an interdisciplinary team approach to patients with functional impairments as a result of heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation is carried out in three phases. The first phase includes the period of the patient's stay in the hospital during the acute phase of the disease. The second phase is carried out in a polyclinic or in a special hospital for cardiac rehabilitation. The third phase is lifelong and includes time when the patient returns to the activities of daily living and is not connected to a health facility. Before starting rehabilitation, it is necessary to set rehabilitation goals and define a therapeutic plan. While creating a therapeutic plan, physiotherapists encounter the problem of determining the intensity of exercise. However, through the physiotherapy assessment, the physiotherapist takes medical history, assesses the level of aerobic capacity and muscle strength of the patient with appropriate and specific tests, and according to them determines the exercises that the patient will use. In addition to rehabilitation, the physiotherapist should educate patients about risk factors, motivate and encourage them to continue with what they have learned throughout rehabilitation in their lives after rehabilitation.
