The study evaluated work experience changes and its determinants after return to work (RTW) in angioplasty or heart surgery patients. During a 1-year period (2014) in a Rehabilitation Hospital in northwestern Italy, we approached 253 patients (19.3% of inpatients). 199 patients consented to complete a survey on job characteristics, job satisfaction, job involvement, illness perception, depression, anxiety, adherence to therapy, and sociodemographic characteristics. The data were analysed with paired sample t tests and random intercept regression models. 156 patients completed both the baseline and the 6-month follow-up assessments. After 6 months, 137 (88%) patients return to work (86% male, M age = 51.9 ± 8.1). The patients predominantly underwent angioplasty/bypass (46%) or valve replacement/repair (38%). Work hours (WO), job satisfaction (JS), and job involvement (JI) significantly decreased after RTW (WO: t (132) = 2.07, p
