- Brief Summary
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a critical component of comprehensive cardiac care, aimed at improving the cardiovascular health and overall well-being of patients with heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation is a **grade-1 recommendation** according to the American Heart Association and the European Society of Cardiology. In India, the uptake of CR programs remains low despite their proven benefits. Physicians play a crucial role in referring patients to CR programs, making their attitudes and perceptions crucial for effective implementation. Understanding these attitudes can help identify barriers and facilitators to CR referral and participation.
