NCT ID NCT05099692
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This study surveys 3,000 people with coronary heart disease who are about to start cardiac rehabilitation for the first time. Participants choose from 15 common questions about rehab—covering its purpose, methods, benefits, risks, and cost—or write their own. The goal is to understand what worries patients most and how social factors influence those concerns.
