- The study indicates that specific genes on the X chromosome may play a role in resilience against Alzheimer's, hinting at the importance of considering sex chromosomes in understanding disease vulnerability.
Aims: Guidelines for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes inform best practice. In Aotearoa NewZealand, little information exists about the structure and services provided by CR programmes and there is a poor understanding of how existing CR programmes are delivered with respect to evidence-based national guidelines.
Methods: All 46 CR providers in New Zealand were invited to participate in a national survey in 2015.
