Key result
Home and telehealth-based cardiac rehabilitation compare favorably with traditional center-based programs in terms of hospitalizations, quality of life, and cost.
Why the study?
Most eligible patients with coronary heart disease and heart failure do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation, a problem exacerbated by Covid-19.
Do home and telehealth-based cardiac rehabilitation interventions provide comparable outcomes to center-based programs in patients with coronary heart disease and heart failure?

May support expanded home/telehealth cardiac rehabilitation access; leaves open need for large RCTs confirming long-term equivalence.
Do home and telehealth-based cardiac rehabilitation interventions provide comparable outcomes to center-based programs in patients with coronary heart disease and heart failure?
Home and telehealth-based cardiac rehabilitation offer viable, effective alternatives to traditional center-based programs, potentially increasing patient uptake.
