Despite the global epidemic of cardiovascular disease and the well-established mitigating benefits of cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR), availability is known to be grossly insufficient, and little was known about the nature of services delivered in resource-poor settings where it is needed most. Indeed, this had not been quantified before the International Council of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation's (ICCPR) 2017 Global Audit, published in volume 13 of eClinicalMedicine.1,2 This commentary will: (1) summarize the key findings of the Global Audit, (2) actions taken to address identified issues, (3) what is known about current CR availability and the nature of delivered services globally, and finally (4) consider open questions and future directions to achieve change. There were two main parts to the Audit. First, ICCPR's many members Associations (i.e., 43) and friends (https://globalcardiacrehab.com/Members) confirmed any program availability in every country globally (including number of programs in the country, where applicable). Second, they facilitated administration of an online survey to identified CR programs. This assessed program capacity and quality of services.
