Overview

Supports telerehabilitation as a viable long-term option for CAD fitness gains; extends meta-analytic evidence favoring remote over center-based CR.

Structured PICO

Does cardiac telerehabilitation improve cardiopulmonary fitness in patients with coronary artery disease compared to center-based cardiac rehabilitation?
