Does enhanced assessment of functional risks improve prognostic refinement compared to standard cardiovascular disease risk stratification in cardiac rehabilitation patients?
Enhanced functional risk assessment in cardiac rehabilitation provides important prognostic refinement beyond standard cardiovascular disease risk stratification.
Functional RS and CVD RS varied in the same patients. Enhanced assessment of functional risks adds important prognostic refinement and greater potential to tailor exercise therapy, nutrition, and other CR caregiving priorities.
