Why the study?
High-quality exercise training improves outcomes in cardiac rehabilitation, but little is known about how most programs prescribe exercise.
There is significant heterogeneity in how cardiac rehabilitation programs prescribe exercise intensity, highlighting a need for standardization in clinical practice.
