Why the study?
Despite participating in cardiac rehabilitation, few cardiac patients lose enough weight to achieve clinically significant cardiovascular disease risk reduction.
Does a 12-week telehealth weight management intervention added to cardiac rehabilitation improve weight loss in overweight and obese rural cardiac revascularization patients?
Population
