Prevalence of US Adults With Cardiovascular Disease Reporting Barriers to Clinician Office Visits: IMPLICATIONS FOR ACCESSIBLE MODELS FOR CARDIAC REHABILITATION

Conclusions: We estimate that 11.9 million Americans with self-reported CVD have difficulty walking, or are dependent on another person to attend medical appointments, or both. Alternative models of CR that adapt to these limitations are needed to increase attendance of CR so that all adults with CVD can improve their health outcomes.
