“…Surveys in the UK show low levels of patient participation (14-43% after myocardial infarction) with similarly low attendance reported in Australia, 30 France, 31 New Zealand 32 and the USA. [33][34][35] Low patient participation is a consequence of low levels of provision, referral and invitation, and of poor uptake by patients.…”

The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as royal colleges and NHS trusts. These suggestions are carefully prioritised by panels of independent experts (including NHS service users). The HTA Programme then commissions the research by competitive tender. Secondly, the HTA Programme provides grants for cl...

“…Application of CR schedules to patients with heart failure or following cardiac procedures has gained increasing acceptance as their benefits and safety are documented. Despite its potential clinical and psychological benefits, among all survivors following myocardial infarction or cardiac interventions, only 11% to 20% completely participate in CR programs [1], and this participation rate is dramatically lower among women than men [2,3]. It was suggested that women with coronary artery disease, enrollment in CR programs is much less than expected based on their prevalence of cardiac events [4].…”

Gender Differences in Improvement of Function Capacity and Psychological Status Following Cardiac Rehabilitation Program after Different Cardiac Interventions

Background: Because of lower exercise capacity and energy as well as function score in women, improvement of these indices following cardiac rehabilitation (CR) may be of greater clinical benefit to women than to men. The purpose of the present study was to determine if there were gender differences in risk profiles and function capacity as well as perceptions of quality of life and depression-anxiety status in CR patients.Methods: Three hundred and eleven consecutive patients who underwent various cardiac interventions and attended 20 or more of the CR sessions in an exercise-based CR program at the Tehran Heart Center between August 2008 and August 2009 were included. The main outcome measures were differences in the changes of exercise parameters, the health-related quality of life (QOL) (assessed by a standardized self-rating Short Form 36 Health Questionnaire), as well as depressed and anxious mood (assessed by the Costello-Comrey Depression and Anxiety Scale). Results:The metabolic equivalent (METs) level of men was higher than that of women at baseline and at the end of CR, but its changes was not significant between the two genders. At the end of the three-month program, although men had higher post-exercise systolic blood pressure, peak heart rate and peak O2 consumption than women, improvements in these parameters were not statistically different between them. Regarding health-related quality of life scores, both men and women improved in all scores, although men reported more increase in their level of general health, however the changes of all QOL scores and depression-anxiety level were globally similar in both genders. Conclusion:Improvement in exercise parameters, QOL, and depression-anxiety state is similarly occurred in men and women following complete CR program.

Identifying Participation Rates at Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs in Victoria, Australia

Abstract: Despite a comprehensive network of CR programs in Victoria, they are used on average by only a minority of eligible patients. Further work is required to determine barriers to participation to develop strategies to increase participation rates.
