Adherence to recommendations regarding medical treatment and healthy behaviour serve as a significant challenge for patients experiencing a cardiac event. Optimizing the patients' health literacy (HL) may be crucial to meet this challenge and has gained increased focus the last decade.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe and evaluate HL in patients participating in CR.
