Effect of Masking Secondary to the COVID-19 Pandemic on Functional Capacity Improvement in Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiac rehabilitation patients requiring masking during the COVID-19 pandemic had less improvement in functional capacity than patients who did not wear masks during CR prior to the pandemic. Interventions to mitigate the potential side effects of masking for CR patients may require further exploration.
