Disparity of Predictors for Participation in Phase 2 Cardiac Rehabilitation Between Younger and Older Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases
This study revealed disparities in predictors for OCR participation between younger and older patients with CVD. Although residence address and LVEF influenced participation across both groups, grip strength and type of CVD emerged as factors in older and younger, respectively. Individual strategies are necessary to enhance participation rate in OCR and long-term patient outcomes.
