| Sumario: | This commentary focuses on the implementation of cardiac rehabilitation for people who have experienced transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or mild stroke, highlighting a process evaluation study that examined clinician perspectives using the RE-AIM framework and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). The study identifies key facilitators such as staff awareness, simple eligibility criteria, and integrated referral pathways, alongside barriers including patient illness, transport difficulties, and competing commitments. It emphasizes that while clinician insights are valuable, the perspectives of stroke survivors and broader stakeholders are necessary for a comprehensive understanding of program effectiveness and sustainability. The commentary also notes the potential of telehealth to improve access and calls for further research to ensure equitable inclusion of diverse stroke survivors in secondary prevention programs.
