Implication

CR referral remains low with sex/age disparities post-ACS; leaves open whether addressing predictors boosts utilization.

Structured PICO

What are the patient characteristics and predictors associated with referral to cardiac rehabilitation after an acute coronary syndrome?

P
Population
1,394 patients who survived an acute coronary syndrome (779 with myocardial infarction and 615 with unstable angina) admitted to 77 French coronary care units during January 1998.
I
Intervention
Cardiac rehabilitation
C
Comparator
No cardiac rehabilitation
O
Outcome
Predictors of cardiac rehabilitation prescription and management of cardiovascular risk factors at 6-month follow-up

Cardiac rehabilitation is significantly underutilized after acute coronary syndrome in France, with women and elderly patients being disproportionately excluded despite its benefits for secondary prevention.
