What this trial studies

The SwissPR study is a longitudinal observational cohort study that aims to monitor patient characteristics and benchmark quality measures for individuals participating in a 12-week ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation program at the University Hospital Basel. It includes both retrospective and prospective data collection to assess the impact of the rehabilitation program on cardiovascular health outcomes. The study seeks to identify patients at higher cardiovascular risk and understand the factors influencing secondary prevention behaviors. By creating a comprehensive registry, the study addresses the lack of data on the Swiss population's experiences during and after cardiac rehabilitation.
