Why the study?
Do psychosocial risk factors vary between different diagnostic groups of cardiovascular disease patients referred for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation?
Do psychosocial risk factors vary between different diagnostic groups of cardiovascular disease patients referred for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation?
Psychosocial risk factors vary between different CVD diagnostic groups, suggesting that cardiac rehabilitation programs may be more effective if they include diagnosis-specific psychosocial interventions.
Supports diagnosis-specific psychosocial screening in cardiac rehab; leaves open whether tailoring improves outcomes.
The profile of psychosocial risk factors for CVD revealed clinically relevant variability between different diagnostic groups of CVD patients. The findings imply that patients with distinct cardiac diagnosis might additionally benefit from comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation if the program includes psychosocial risk factor-specific interventions.
