The questions were based on core components of cardiac rehabilitation as recommended by European Guidelines. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> There was a wide variation in programme duration (2\u201314 months). All programmes reported offering an individual post-discharge visit with a nurse, and 90% ( n\u2009=\u200970) did so within three weeks from discharge. Most programmes offered centre-based exercise training ( n\u2009=\u200976, 97%) and group educational sessions ( n\u2009=\u200961, 78%). All programmes reported to the national audit, SWEDEHEART, and 60% ( n\u2009=\u200947) reported that performance was regularly assessed using audit data, to improve quality of care. Ninety-six per cent ( n\u2009=\u200975) had a core team consisting of a cardiologist, a physiotherapist and a nurse and 76% ( n\u2009=\u200959) reported having a medical director. Having other allied healthcare professionals included in the cardiac rehabilitation team varied. Forty per cent ( n\u2009=\u200931) reported having regular team meetings where nurses, physiotherapists and cardiologist could discuss patient cases. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> The overall quality of cardiac rehabilitation programmes provided in Sweden is high. Still, there are several areas of potential improvement. Monitoring programme characteristics as well as patient outcomes might improve programme quality and patient outcomes both at a local and a national level.
