Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the impact of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on functional capacity, depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, and sleep quality in patients with heart disease.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who participated in a structured CR program. Clinical records were reviewed to compare pre- and post-rehabilitation outcomes. Functional capacity was assessed using the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), while depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, and sleep quality were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Short Form-36 (SF-36), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively.
