First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary

The goal was to find out why this helpful therapy is underused. Researchers used a questionnaire based on the World Health Organization's framework to gather information.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could highlight gaps in physician knowledge and help design better training programs to increase use of cardiac rehabilitation in children with heart disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed survey study with 106 participants, so findings may not apply to all pediatric cardiologists. It measures opinions, not patient outcomes.
