Multidisciplinary outpatient rehabilitation following cardiac revascularization or valve surgery: patient-related factors for uptake

Abstract

These results confirm the low rates of MDCR attendance found in a previous study performed by the European Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation. The study shows specific patient groups that should be targeted in priority, i.e. women, elderly, unemployed patients, disabled persons, and patients with a low socioeconomic status.
