Aortic dissection is one of the three types of acute aortic syndromes, which has a determined mortality rate according to its type. Improvement in survival is possible through diagnostic and treatment advances. However, a great number of these patients frequently experience physical and mental disability after hospital discharge. Thus, we report a case of a woman with aortic dissection diagnosis, who joined a supervised physical training program and a brief review of evidence, demonstrating benefits and safety of cardiac rehabilitation in this pathology.

The incidence of cardiovascular events and the rehabilitation of afflicted people are ways to reduce cardiovascular diseases, which is why cardiac rehabilitation programmes are crucial. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Anaerobic training, which we can develop our muscular strength through various methods, is a significant sort of exercise in these programmes. The purpose of our study is to show that resistance band strength training is safe for individuals undergoing cardiac rehabilitation.
