Enhancing Cardiac Rehabilitation Through Behavioral Nudges

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Acute Myocardial Infarction, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Coronary Artery Disease, Valvular Disease, Chronic Stable Angina, Chronic Stable Heart Failure

In brief

Adherence to cardiac rehabilitation is poor, and worse for minorities, women, and those with lower levels of education. Patients less likely to be referred to and complete cardiac rehab are at highest risk of adverse outcomes and thus have the most to gain from participation in cardiac rehab. To improve participation, healthcare systems need to limit barriers to enrollment and promote adherence to rehabilitation.
