Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Referred to and eligible for the TotalCardiology CR program following a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). ACS patients will be targeted in this study because (a) they represent the most common patient group referred to TotalCardiology (\~70% of referrals) and (b) patients with ACS follow an "Early Cardiac Access Clinic" stream at TCR that involves a different schedule of exercise appointments than other patient groups. Therefore recruiting ACS patients will enable a consistent CR referral and intake process across all study participants.
