Does formal functional support improve patient satisfaction in patients with coronary artery disease after revascularization?
Patients with coronary artery disease post-revascularization value formal functional support in cardiac rehabilitation, highlighting the need for objective measurement in future studies.
Formal functional support was not objectively measured in the studies reviewed. However, participants expressed satisfaction with formal functional support programs, valued guidance from healthcare professionals, and the flexibility offered by support programs.
Witherell et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
