Referral rates for cardiac rehabilitation programs remain low for patients hospitalized with coronary heart disease. Increased education for physicians, patients, and insurers is crucial to address participation barriers.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cardiac rehabilitation is vital for patients with coronary heart disease.
  • Low referral rates hinder patient recovery and secondary prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compute referral rates to a cardiac rehabilitation program.
  • To identify barriers to participation for eligible patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patient data.
  • Calculation of referral rates over an 18-month period.

Main Results:

  • Only 8.7% of eligible patients were referred to cardiac rehabilitation.
  • Significant gap exists between eligible patients and those referred.

Conclusions:

  • Physician, patient, and insurer education is insufficient.
  • Systematic identification and addressing of participation barriers are necessary.
