A multicentre retrospective study on quality and outcomes of cardiac rehabilitation programs in India

Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs in India are comprehensive in nature, consist of multidisciplinary teams and demonstrate significant improvement in various clinical parameters. However, there is a disparity in patient evaluation, risk assessment, data collection and documentation. CR programs in India need to be streamlined to meet the quality indicators outlined by the international guideline recommendations.
