Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation(CR) has known proven benefits in reducing mortality related to cardiovascular disease (CVD), improving quality of life (QoL), and preventing CVD-related readmissions. Despite these known benefits, CR remains underutilized among women relative to men. Disparities exist at the level of referral, enrollment, and program completion. Much is left to be understood regarding the utility of CR in female-predominant CVD such as postpartum cardiomyopathy and Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. This review identifies the benefits of CR for specific populations of women and elucidates on the barriers to CR. We also describe current recommendations to overcome barriers to CR in women.
