Referral patterns to a University-based cardiac rehabilitation program

V Bittner et al. Am J Cardiol. .

Abstract

Referral rates to our cardiac rehabilitation program among patients hospitalized for coronary heart disease were computed over an 18-month period. Only 8.7% of eligible patients were referred, suggesting that more education targeting physicians, patients, and insurers is needed and barriers to participation must be systematically addressed.
