Introduction: Participants in cardiac rehabilitation programs have low adherence to their sessions, which makes extremely important to recognize the barriers that cause non-adherence, identifying whether the type of service and level of adherence influence these barriers.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study, in which 220 individuals (66.80±11.
Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) barriers are well-understood in high-resource settings. However, they are under-studied in low-resource settings, where access is even poorer and the context is significantly different, including two-tiered healthcare systems and greater socioeconomic challenges.
Objective: To investigate differences in characteristics of patients attending publicly versus privately funded CR and their barriers to adherence.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of adding virtual reality (VR) to maintenance cardiac rehabilitation (CR); it was hypothesized VR would increase adherence, motivation, and engagement.
Methods: This study was a randomized, 1:1 concealed-allocation, single-blinded, 2 parallel-arm, crossover trial. Blinded assessments were undertaken at baseline (midprogram), 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after baseline.
Objective: To analyze the acute hemodynamic effects of adding virtual reality-based therapy (VRBT) using exergames for patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation (CR).
Design: Crossover trial.
Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation center.
