Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming 17.9 million lives each year. Exercise prescription aims to reduce risk factors and improve health in individuals with heart conditions. This research, conducted under PRISMA guidelines, reviewed literature from March 2023 to April 2024 across various databases, selecting studies based on exercise type and effects. From seven articles included, the strategies identified were high-intensity interval training, resistance training, aerobic exercise, home-based exercise, supervised exercise therapy, and Pilates. High-intensity interval training reduced morbidity and mortality in coronary artery disease; resistance training improved cardiac and pulmonary function in chronic heart failure; and aerobic exercise enhanced aerobic capacity in stroke patients. The combination of strategies and home-based exercise in some cases outperformed traditional cardiac rehabilitation. Pilates reduced blood pressure in hypertensive women. The study concludes that personalized exercise prescription is essential to improve cardiovascular health and quality of life.
