Is cardiac telerehabilitation with relapse prevention cost-effective compared to center-based cardiac rehabilitation in patients with coronary artery disease?
Cardiac telerehabilitation with relapse prevention is a cost-effective alternative to center-based cardiac rehabilitation for patients with coronary artery disease.
In this economic evaluation, a CTR intervention with relapse prevention was likely to be cost-effective compared with center-based CR, suggesting that CTR maybe used as an alternative intervention for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. These results add to the evidence base in favor of CTR and may increase the implementation of CTR interventions in clinical practice.
