Overview

Longitudinal analysis demonstrates sustained quality-of-life and behavioral outcomes in cardiac rehabilitation, suggesting digital technology could enhance maintenance care.

Key Points

  • Participants maintained physical activity and quality-of-life outcomes, yet depression and blood pressure worsened after cardiac rehabilitation.
  • 155 participants averaged 67.9 years old and reported varying barriers and facilitators to maintaining outcomes.
  • Longitudinal explanatory study assessed pre/post outcomes to explore behavioral changes during and after cardiac rehabilitation.
  • Integrating digital tools in cardiac rehabilitation may support long-term maintenance of health and well-being.
