Abbreviations: CR, cardiac rehabilitation; METs, metabolic equivalent of task; MOS SF-36 Physical Function, Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Physical Function component; PHQ-9, Patient Health Questionnaire; SD, standard deviation; V̇O_2peak, peak oxygen uptake.

^aData are presented as mean ± SD except as otherwise noted.

^bAll patients with baseline and exit measures completed 36 cardiac rehabilitation sessions.

^cn = 14 patients who had cardiopulmonary exercise test before and after CR.

^dMaximum possible score = 100.
