Abstract
Few studies have examined gender differences in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) outcomes. A meta-analysis comparing outcomes of CR between men and women revealed significant differences in functional capacity and lipid profiles; anxiety, depression, and BMI were non-significant. While CR appears to benefit both men and women, outcomes vary based on gender.
