The PT-driven IRPP program was feasible in terms of adherence and safety, showing significant improvement in a majority of assessments. Analysis of HR using the CTT may help clinical decision making for progression in CR.Implications for rehabilitationCardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an underutilized means of improving health for people recovering from cardiac surgery.People recovering from cardiac surgery have complex reasons for why they choose to enroll in, drop out from, or complete a CR program.Reporting of outcomes in CR and progression in intensity is not often individualized.An individualized physical therapist driven CR program using both subjective and objective assessments may be successful at improving adherence and effectiveness in this cohort.
