Why the study?

The study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of home-based cardiac telerehabilitation in patients with heart failure.

Does home-based cardiac telerehabilitation improve functional capacity, quality of life, and readmission rates in patients with heart failure?

Population

4557 participants across 16 studies with heart failure

Comparison

Home-based cardiac telerehabilitation vs usual care or centre-based cardiac rehabilitation

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Key result

Home-based cardiac telerehabilitation improved VO2 peak, 6-minute walk distance, quality of life, and readmission rates compared to usual care across 16 studies and 4557 heart failure patients.

P
Population
4557 participants with heart failure from 16 randomised controlled trials
I
Intervention
Home-based cardiac telerehabilitation

Usual care or centre-based cardiac rehabilitation

Home-based cardiac telerehabilitation is an effective alternative or adjunct to centre-based rehabilitation for improving functional capacity, quality of life, and reducing readmissions in heart failure patients.

Cite This Study

Gao et al. (2023) conducted a meta-analysis in Heart failure (n=4,557). Home-based cardiac telerehabilitation vs. Usual care or centre-based cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Heart rate, VO2 peak, 6-minute walk distance, quality of life, readmission rates, and left ventricular ejection fraction. Home-based cardiac telerehabilitation improved VO2 peak, 6-minute walk distance, quality of life, and readmission rates compared to usual care across 16 studies and 4557 heart failure patients.
