مستخلص: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and secondary prevention programmes are pivotal to the recovery and ongoing health of patients who experience a cardiac event. While these programmes have been shown to enhance quality of life and reduce hospital admissions, inadequate uptake persists in Australia, the UK, and around the world. Patient satisfaction is strongly associated with adherence to CR and secondary prevention strategies. The current paper explores patient satisfaction of face-to-face and telehealth models of CR and secondary prevention programmes offered across metropolitan and rural areas. The aim of the survey was to identify strengths and weaknesses of these programmes. Overall satisfaction was high, with completion rates noted to be greater in the telehealth group compared with face-to-face models. Given the positive satisfaction of CR and secondary prevention programmes, it would be advantageous to further investigate what is preventing the initial uptake of programmes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
