Quality indicators for cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction in China: a consensus panel and practice test
Objectives Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves outcomes after myocardial infarction (MI), but it is underused in China. The purpose of this study was to develop a set of quality indicators (QIs) to improve clinical practices and to confirm the measurability and performance of the developed QIs for...
