Key result
Cardiac telerehabilitation shows promise for overcoming traditional CR barriers in older adults with CVD.
Why the study?
Cardiac rehabilitation participation among older adults with CVD remains <50% due to barriers to center-based programs, prompting evaluation of cardiac telerehabilitation as an alternative model.
Does cardiac telerehabilitation improve secondary prevention and participation rates in older adults with cardiovascular disease?

May support telerehabilitation to address low participation in older adults; leaves open confirmation of secondary prevention benefits in trials.
Does cardiac telerehabilitation improve secondary prevention and participation rates in older adults with cardiovascular disease?
Cardiac telerehabilitation offers a promising, safe, and effective alternative to traditional center-based programs, potentially overcoming barriers to participation for older adults with cardiovascular disease.
Liu et al. (2024) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Cardiac telerehabilitation vs. Traditional center-based cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated. Cardiac telerehabilitation is reviewed as a promising model to overcome barriers to traditional center-based cardiac rehabilitation for older adults with cardiovascular disease.
