Predictors of attendance at cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction. Variables were assessed using the illness perceptions questionnaire for perceived symptoms (scoring range 0–12) and perceived consequences (scoring range 1–5), and the coping orientation to problems experienced (COPE) for problem focused coping (scoring range 4–16) in 93 patients after discharge from hospital, just before they were due to attend cardiac rehabilitation.3
