Usually, medical records detailing the diagnoses and treatment regimens are long and extensive. Brief overviews of relevant diagnostic and treatment data in the form of a patient passport are currently missing in routine care for patients with CVD. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a patient passport (the Kardio-Pass) based on the needs of patients who had undergone cardiac rehabilitation, and of healthcare professionals.
