The most recent poll on the use of cardiac rehabilitation post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) garnered few votes. Of those voting, the majority prescribe cardiac rehabilitation in most post-PCI with 65% always prescribing. When rehabilitation is not prescribed, the need for patients to pay out of pocket is the most frequent reason among respondents, with only 8% stating that they need further data to be convinced of the value.

In summary, it is encouraging that respondents saw value but noted a limit based on out-of-pocket cost for post-PCI cardiac rehabilitation. Thanks for those who responded.
