Key result
Telerehabilitation improves exercise tolerance and quality of life as alternative or supplementary cardiac rehab.
Why the study?
Does telehealth improve cardiac rehabilitation outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease?
Does telehealth improve cardiac rehabilitation outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease?
Telerehabilitation offers a viable, cost-effective alternative to traditional cardiac rehabilitation, particularly for home-based secondary prevention.
May support telerehabilitation for broader access in cardiovascular disease; leaves open need for prospective trials to guide routine adoption.
The article provides an overview of actual studies on cardiac rehabilitation using telehealth technologies, presents the types of telerehabilitation in clinical practice. The physiological mechanisms of exercise effects in rehabilitation programs in cardiovascular patients are considered in most detail. Telerehabilitation areas with potential for further study are presented.
