About the Study

This national project will engage people with lived experience  (including women with lived experience of cardiovascular conditions or procedures, their family, friends and caregivers) and clinicians (physicians, nurses, kinesiologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitian and social workers) to collaboratively identify and prioritize research questions specific to cardiac rehabilitation and women’s cardiovascular health.

These questions have the opportunity to influence future research in the field of women’s cardiovascular health and cardiac rehabilitation. The priorities identified through this study will be shared with researchers and research funding organizations to stimulate more research in these topics.
