Does 4-week home-based cardiac telerehabilitation improve physical capacity and demonstrate safety and feasibility in low-risk patients with cardiovascular disease?
Home-based cardiac telerehabilitation is a feasible, safe, and well-accepted alternative to outpatient cardiac rehabilitation that significantly improves physical capacity in low-risk patients with cardiovascular disease.
