There are over 200 Cardiovascular Rehabilitation (CR) programs in Canada, providing services to more than 50,000 new patients annually. The objective of this study was to describe the impact of CR in Canada.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A retrospective analysis of Canadian CR Registry data is presented. There were 12 programs participating, with 4546 CR participants.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The average wait time between patient referral and CR admission was 68 \u00b1 64 days. Participants were 66.3 \u00b1 11.5 years old, 71% male, and 82% White. The three leading referral events were coronary artery bypass graft surgery, percutaneous coronary intervention, and acute coronary syndrome. At discharge, data were available for ~90% of participants.

However, target attainment for some risk factors was suboptimal.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. This report provides the first snapshot of the beneficial effects of CR in Canada. Not all patients are equally represented in these programs, however, leaving room for more referral of diverse patients. Greater attainment of risk reduction targets should be pursued.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/278979","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,18]],"date-time":"2015-08-18T17:02:20Z","timestamp":1439917340000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Canadian Cardiac Rehabilitation Registry: Inaugural Report on the Status of Cardiac Rehabilitation in Canada"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2015","author":[{"given":"Sherry L.","family":"Grace","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Kinesiology and Health Science, Faculty of Health, York University, Bethune 368, 4700 Keele Street, Toronto, ON, Canada M3J 1P3"},{"name":"GoodLife Fitness Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Unit, University Health Network, Toronto Western Hospital, 8e-402, Toronto, ON, Canada M5T 2S8"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trisha L.","family":"Parsons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Rehabilitation Therapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Queen\u2019s University, 31 George Street, Louise D.
