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 />
