Key result
Cardiac telerehabilitation improves major outcomes and cost-effectiveness versus center-based rehabilitation.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular diseases carry high re-hospitalization and mortality, and the evolution of technologies and rehabilitation programs utilized in cardiac telerehabilitation over time remained to be characterized.

Supports wider adoption of cardiac telerehabilitation; confirms outcome gains and cost-effectiveness advantages versus center-based care in 16 RCTs.
Systematic Review
Does cardiac telerehabilitation improve clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases compared to center-based rehabilitation?
Cardiac telerehabilitation offers significant improvements in clinical outcomes and provides advantages over center-based rehabilitation, including better cost-effectiveness and accessibility.
Garofano et al. (2024) conducted a systematic review in Cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac telerehabilitation vs. Center-based rehabilitation was evaluated on Main outcome measures. Cardiac telerehabilitation significantly improved main outcome measures across 16 randomized controlled trials, offering better cost-effectiveness than center-based rehabilitation.
