Despite empirical evidence that cardiac rehabilitation programs can play a significant role in enhancing recovery following a primary cardiac event and in enacting secondary prevention measures, attendance rates remain remarkably low. Referral and attendance at cardiac rehabilitation programs are not one and the same. Recognizing this, issues related to the referral of eligible patients to cardiac rehabilitation and factors that affect patients' decisions regarding attendance must be identified and addressed. This article presents an overview of the potential benefits of cardiac rehabilitation programs, describes salient issues related to referral and attendance, and identifies directions for future research.
尽管有实证证据表明心脏康复计划在促进初次心脏事件后的恢复以及实施二级预防措施方面可发挥重要作用，但参与率仍然极低。转介至心脏康复计划与实际参与并不等同。认识到这一点后，必须明确并解决与将符合条件的患者转介至心脏康复计划相关的问题以及影响患者参与决策的因素。本文概述了心脏康复计划的潜在益处，描述了与转介和参与相关的突出问题，并确定了未来研究的方向。
