Outcome Assessment in Cardiac Rehabilitation

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  10 March 2009

Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation outcome assessment has reflected the isolated concerns of different professionals, each addressing different factors of the problems of patients. Physical, medical, psychosocial, and epidemiological approaches have been taken. Discrepancies in findings may relate more to problems with assessment than to the technology itself, and can undermine the usefulness of the intervention.
