This review assessed interventions to improve uptake, adherence and professional compliance in cardiac rehabilitation. The authors concluded that little reliable research has been undertaken in this area and further research is required. Overall, this was a relatively well-conducted review that adequately described the limitations of the primary studies; the authors’ conclusions are likely to be reliable.
