Summary

This study compares a women-only cardiac rehabilitation program to the standard mixed-gender program for women with heart disease. Sixty women aged 40-80 will attend 36 sessions over 12 weeks, with extra women-focused education. Researchers will measure attendance, completion rates, and blood pressure to see if the women-only approach works better.

Women-only cardiac rehabilitation program (behavioral intervention)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that women-only rehab programs improve attendance and heart health for women with heart disease.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all women. It is also early-stage, so the program may not prove better than standard care.
