INTRODUCTION: The collected information includes demographic profile, medical history, physical examination, patient risk factors, anthropometric evaluation, medications, echocardiographic results, and exercise testing of all patients who participated in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Department since 1996 until now. Each patient was assigned an electronic code by which the patient's information could be identified. Subsequently, standard questionnaires were used, such as the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to assess physical activity, MAC NEW to assess quality of life, Spielberg to measure anxiety, Beck to assess depression, and nutritional questionnaires.

RESULTS: The findings were recorded, and the data were analyzed using web-based systems and SPSS software. For all patients, the forms were filled based on several variables including background, registration components, type of referral, diagnosis of underlying heart disease, methods of data collection and entry, details of the educational program, return towork, psychiatric condition, drug regimen, clinical condition, echocardiography findings, functional capacity and exercise test response, smoking status, nutritional habits, and finally, their 5-year follow-up for events and re-hospitalization.

CONCLUSION: It is necessary for the authors to establish a cardiac rehabilitation registration system that can effectively display care quality indicators and collect and report standardized data across different nations. This will help improve the quality of cardiac rehabilitation services and identify existing weaknesses.
