Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cardiac rehabilitation and barriers to referral among cardiologists in Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional survey
While cardiologists in KSA generally have reasonable knowledge of CR and its benefits, substantial barriers hinder its broader implementation. There is enthusiasm for adopting diverse CR models; thus, further research is necessary to explore and evaluate alternative CR approaches, including home-based CR and telerehabilitation, to enhance patient care.
