Helping veterans get cardiac rehab after a heart event
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests ways to increase the number of veterans who attend cardiac rehabilitation (a program of exercise and education for heart health) after a heart attack, stent procedure, valve surgery, bypass surgery, or heart failure. The goal is to make it easier for veterans to get the care they need.
