Implication

May inform culturally adapted cardiac rehab for South Asian patients; leaves open impact on uptake pending prospective trials.

Key Points

Synthesize empirical evidence examining South Asian patients' experiences with, and barriers to, participating in cardiac rehabilitation programs.
Narrative review of electronic databases including MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and PsycINFO.
Identified and synthesized English-language primary research published between 1999 and 2010 based on pre-defined search criteria.
Identified 11 studies demonstrating that low rehabilitation uptake and adherence stem from four main domains: exercise perceptions, cultural and religious values, program access and structure, and language and communication.
Observed that existing literature rarely disaggregates data across specific South Asian ethnic groups, limiting understanding of distinct subgroup needs.
