In 2002, the National Institute of Nursing Research at the National<br />
Institutes of Health awarded Theresa Beckie, Ph.D, a $1.5 million<br />
grant to compare the physiological and psychosocial outcomes of<br />
women who completed cardiac rehabilitation in a traditional<br />
program versus a women’s-specific, individualized, behavioralchange-focused<br />
program, which Beckie helped develop. Dr. Beckie<br />
is the first in the U.S. to study cardiac rehabilitation for women.<br />
To be eligible, the patient must be a female with coronary artery<br />
disease and have experienced one of the following in the past 12<br />
months:<br />
• <strong>St</strong>able angina<br />
• Heart attack<br />
• Angioplasty and/or stent<br />
• Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery<br />
For more information on enrollment, please call Theresa Beckie, Ph.D,<br />
