22 May 2019This work consisted of a survey of current provision of cardiac rehabilitation, a qualitative synthesis of the experiences, attitudes, beliefs and expectations of self-management of heart failure and a systematic review and meta-analysis of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in people with HFpEF.
Full data were available for 84% (232/277) CR centres across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Only 40% routinely offered CR to patients with HF. Only 16% (35/224) of respondents provide a dedicated CR service for patients with HF. Lack of resources and commissioning are seen as major barriers to offering CR in this group.

Nineteen qualitative studies were identified. Our resultant five phase conceptual model starts with patientsā initial experiences of disruption across physical, emotional, social and psychological domains. Patients then pass through four more phases beginning with a sense making phase influenced by knowledge, their engagement with health professionals and their personal attributes.
The next phase is āreactionā during which patients adopt one of four reactions: strategic avoider; selective denier; well-intentioned self-manager; advanced self-manager. The next phase of response is partially dependent on social factors including support from caregivers. Finally, patients seek to assimilate their management into daily life.

As a prelude to the development of the HF Manual, we have engaged with individuals with HF (through focus groups and questionnaires) and key healthcare staff to explore the needs of HF and treatment goals.
