Summary

Despite significant clinical benefits and recommendations of clinical practice guidelines to refer patients for exercise and physical activity counselling in the capacity of cardiac rehabilitation (CR), CR is largely underutilised and not implemented effectively. Studies have reported that the reasons for the low implementation of CR are multifactorial at the healthcare system, physician and patient levels. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practical applications of paediatric cardiologists regarding cardiac rehabilitation and specifically exercise and physical activity in children with congenital heart disease (CHD).
