Abstract
The meeting of the Council on Rehabilitation of the International Society of Cardiology held in 1968 in Sardinia, Italy, gave a much needed impetus for an international survey of the psycho-social aspects of cardiac rehabilitation. The meeting of the Council in Vienna in 1971 was a milestone of achievement because the most useful contribution to date concerned with cardiac rehabilitation is the published proceedings (1) of that Vienna meeting. The Chairman of the Council, Prof. H. Denolin, refers to the proceedings as a handbook “of interest to all practitioners involved in prevention or rehabilitation whether they be physicians, nurses, psychologists, dietitians or physical medinice experts”. In his preface, Prof. Denolin acknowledges the differing approaches to rehabilitation but points out that “most specialists agree to its importance and that the concept of a medico-social team acting early in the illness and continually is a worthwile advance in this sphere”.
