Key result
High education level, compared with low education level, did not have a significant effect on achieving good control of risk factors during cardiac rehabilitation (OR 1.08; 95% CI 0.99-1.17).

Risk factor control during inpatient cardiac rehabilitation appears independent of education level; leaves open whether education influences long-term adherence.
Observational (n=68,191)
Yes
Does education level affect risk factor management and control status in patients undergoing inpatient cardiac rehabilitation?
Odds Ratio: 1.08 (95% CI 0.99–1.17)
Inpatient cardiac rehabilitation significantly improves risk factor control and exercise capacity, and achieving optimal risk factor control is not significantly dependent on the patient's education level.
Bestehorn et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=68,191). High education level vs. Low education level was evaluated on Good control of risk factors (OR 1.08, 95% CI 0.99-1.17). High education level, compared with low education level, did not have a significant effect on achieving good control of risk factors during cardiac rehabilitation (OR 1.08; 95% CI 0.99-1.17).
