Why the study?
Does cardiac rehabilitation improve functional capacity and physical activity in patients after coronary revascularization?
Does cardiac rehabilitation improve functional capacity and physical activity in patients after coronary revascularization?
Home-based and telerehabilitation cardiac rehabilitation programs, along with patient education, are feasible and effective alternatives to center-based programs for improving functional capacity after coronary revascularization.
May support home-based CR as accessible alternative post-revascularization; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm outcomes.
Although centre-based supervised CR programs do improve functional capacity after coronary revascularization, home-based or telerehabilitation-based CR programs are feasible, improve patient compliance in improving physical activity, and thereby increase functional capacity. Patient education improves levels of physical activity, health related quality of life, and adherence to home- and centre-based CR programs.
