Article Synopsis
- Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is underavailable globally, with only 54.7% of countries offering it, while the capacity to treat patients is significantly lower than the number of annual ischemic heart disease cases.
- Regions show disparity in availability, with 80.7% of European countries having access to CR compared to just 17.0% in Africa, highlighting a global inequality in healthcare resources.
- Factors influencing higher program volumes include systematic patient referrals and alternative program models, but there remains a concerning shortfall in CR capacity, preventing most patients from benefiting from these services.
