What patient characteristics predict adherence to cardiac rehabilitation?
Younger patients, smokers, those with economic challenges, and those with nonsurgical diagnoses are at higher risk for poor cardiac rehabilitation adherence and may need targeted support.
May inform targeted CR adherence support; hypothesis-generating for interventional trials on modifiable barriers.
Younger individuals, as well as those who report smoking or economic challenges or have a nonsurgical diagnosis, may require additional support to maintain CR session attendance.
