Key result
Telecardiac rehabilitation showed similar effects to center-based rehabilitation across most parameters (P>0.05), except for total cholesterol and mental quality of life (P<0.05).
Why the study?
To investigate the effectiveness of telecardiac rehabilitation compared to center-based rehabilitation on cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, blood lipids, body composition, and quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease.

Supports telecardiac rehabilitation as an alternative to increase participation; confirms equivalence to center-based programs for most outcomes in coronary heart disease.
Meta-Analysis (n=750)
Does telecardiac rehabilitation improve cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, blood lipids, body composition, and quality of life compared to center-based rehabilitation in patients with coronary heart disease?
p-value: p=>0.05
Telecardiac rehabilitation provides similar benefits to center-based rehabilitation for patients with coronary heart disease, supporting its use as an alternative to increase participation in cardiac rehabilitation.
Choo et al. (2022) conducted a meta-analysis in coronary heart disease (n=750). Telecardiac rehabilitation vs. Center-based rehabilitation was evaluated on Cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, blood lipids, body composition, and quality of life (p=>0.05). Telecardiac rehabilitation showed similar effects to center-based rehabilitation across most parameters (P>0.05), except for total cholesterol and mental quality of life (P<0.05).
