Key result
Cardiac rehabilitation is an underutilized setting for stroke patients, highlighting an urgent need to address barriers and create cross-program collaborations to improve access to secondary prevention.
Why the study?
Despite evidence supporting supervised exercise and risk factor modification for secondary stroke prevention, stroke rehabilitation lacks time for exercise and few cardiac rehabilitation programs accept or see participation from stroke patients.
What are the barriers and facilitators to increasing access to cardiac rehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke?

Should not yet change referral patterns for stroke survivors; leaves open benefits of cross-program cardiac rehabilitation collaborations.
What are the barriers and facilitators to increasing access to cardiac rehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke?
Improving access to cardiac rehabilitation for stroke patients by removing barriers and fostering cross-program collaborations could positively affect millions of lives.
Susan Marzolini (2020) conducted a review in Stroke. Cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated. Cardiac rehabilitation is an underutilized setting for stroke patients, highlighting an urgent need to address barriers and create cross-program collaborations to improve access to secondary prevention.
