Objective:

To explore the effect of socio-geographical factors on cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary heart disease in France from 2017 to 2019.

Key Findings:
  • 26.7% of patients participated in CR, with 33.0% for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and 15.0% for chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).
  • Distance to CR centres (>25 km) reduced participation at 3 months for ACS patients (OR = 0.83, P = 0.0023).
  • Higher socioeconomic status correlated with increased CR participation for CCS patients at 3 (OR = 0.62, P = 0.002) and 6 months (OR = 0.59, P < 0.001).
Interpretation:

Socio-geographical inequalities significantly affect CR access, with distance and socioeconomic status being critical factors influencing participation rates, highlighting the need for targeted health policies.

Limitations:
  • The study is limited to a specific region in France, which may affect generalizability.
  • General practitioner accessibility did not show a significant impact on participation, indicating potential biases in registry data.
Conclusion:

Health policies should address socio-geographical disparities in CR access and consider interventions like telemedicine to improve participation and outcomes, including automatic referrals and expanded coverage.
