Data were obtained from the 2013 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) conducted through landline and cellular phones by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Demographic, behavioral, and clinical variables were defined to explore disparities between CR users and non-users. Bivariate chi-square analyses and weighted multivariable logistic regression were used to identify disparities. Analyses were conducted using SAS version 9.4. There were 8506 individuals who had a myocardial infarction (MI) that completed the survey, and 2891 of these individuals reported using CR. The mean weighted CR utilization rate was 31.9% and varied from 17.9% (Hawaii) to 58.9% (Minnesota). Females (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.73; 0.6\u20130.88), African Americans (aOR = 0.63; 0.46\u20130.87), and those in-between the ages of 18 and 49 years-old were less likely to use CR (aOR = 0.54; 0.34\u20130.86) compared to their counterparts. Individuals who were high school graduates (aOR = 1.57; 1.19\u20132.07), attended college (aOR = 1.34; 1.01\u20131.79), or graduated college (aOR = 1.91; 1.41\u20132.61) were more likely to use CR compared to their counterparts. Non-high school graduates, females, African Americans, and those aged between 18 to 49 should be targeted to increase CR participation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm8071006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,10]],"date-time":"2019-07-10T11:56:51Z","timestamp":1562759811000},"page":"1006","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Disparities in the Use of Cardiac Rehabilitation after a Myocardial Infarction in the United States"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Kunal S.","family":"Patel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32606, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2973-1021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joshua D.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy, College of Pharmacy, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32606, USA"},{"name":"Center for Drug Evaluation and Safety, University of Florida College of Pharmacy, Gainesville, FL 32606, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e29","article-title":"Heart disease and stroke statistics--2015 update: A report from the American Heart Association","volume":"131","author":"Mozaffarian","year":"2015","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Mendis, S., Abegunde, D., Yusuf, S., Ebrahim, S., Shaper, G., Ghannem, H., and Shengelia, B.
