Key result
Higher cardiac rehab knowledge links to ~11% greater proactive practice among CHF patients and families.
Why the study?
Chronic heart failure impairs heart function and well-being while cardiac rehabilitation improves outcomes, prompting an assessment of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding cardiac rehabilitation in patients with CHF and their family caregivers.

Patients with chronic heart failure and their families exhibit positive attitudes toward cardiac rehabilitation but lack sufficient knowledge, highlighting the need for targeted educational interventions to improve participation.

Education on cardiac rehabilitation may promote proactive practice in heart failure; leaves open whether interventions increase participation.
Gao et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic heart failure (n=492). Knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) assessment was evaluated on Proactive practice associated with knowledge score (OR 1.114, 95% CI 1.053-1.179, p=<0.001). Higher knowledge scores regarding cardiac rehabilitation were independently associated with proactive practice (OR 1.114) among patients with chronic heart failure and their families.
