What are the reasons for non-attendance at cardiac rehabilitation?
Non-attendance at cardiac rehabilitation is driven by potentially modifiable system-level and patient-level barriers, highlighting targets for future interventions to improve participation.
Clinicians should target modifiable barriers to boost cardiac rehabilitation attendance; extends evidence for designing future interventions.
There is a vast amount of qualitative research which investigates patients’ reasons for non-attendance at CR. Key issues include system-level and patient-level barriers, which are potentially modifiable. Future research would best be directed at investigating strategies to overcome these barriers.
