Current guidelines recommend that people with coronary heart disease (CHD) should be offered cardiac rehabilitation (CR).
CR programmes improve quality of life, while reducing the chance of repeat hospitalisations and death, but it is likely that patients will stop exercising without enough support. This project will see whether sessions that encourage living an active lifestyle can encourage CHD patients taking part in community-based CR programmes to stay active for longer.
Improving how many people stay engaged with CR will decrease the incidences of repeat heart attacks and save lives.
