Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Objectives 1) To describe the indications and baseline characteristics of patients (p.) referred to the only cardiac rehabilitation (CR) center in Mallorca (Balearic Islands) and 2) Estimate of the volume of patients with indication of CR but not referred to a CR phase II program. Material and methods 1) Retrospective observational study. We studied the indication, cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF), somatometric data, blood test and hospital anxiety and depression scale (EHAD) of all consecutive patients attended in the only CR center in Mallorca. 2) Estimation based on the recommendations of the ESC guidelines and epidemiological data of CV disease in the Balearic Islands. Results Since 2014, 524 patients have attended the CR program. Their mean age was 56.2±10, 18% (95p.) women. The most frequent indication (79.2%, 415 p.) was acute coronary syndrome (ACS, 58% STEACS, 42% NSTEACS). The second most frequent indication was chronic coronary syndrome (7.8%, 41p.). In only 5% (26p.) the indication was heart failure (HF). Other indications were coronary artery bypass grafting (3.8%, 20p,), valve surgery (1.9%, 9p), heart transplantation (0.4%, 2p), congenital heart disease (0.4%, 2p). Among patients referred with any clinical expression of coronary disease (92.6%, 485p.), their mean age was 56.7±9, and only 15.7% (76) were women. Only 21% were non-smokers (neither smokers nor former smokers). The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia were 56%, 26% and 63% respectively. 44% were overweight and 39% obese. At the beginning of the CR program 57% of patients had LDL cholesterol >70mg/dl and 80% >55mg/dl. 26% of coronary patients had EHAD scores indicative of significant anxiety (case) and 14.5% of patients had significant depression. Exercise-based CR is recommended by ESC guidelines after an ACS and in HF with depressed LVEF(1). In the Balearic Islands around 400p. are admitted annually with STEACS, 23% of them women(2).
