Why the study?
Prolonged rehabilitation is necessary for long-term success after CABG, and telerehabilitation offers a flexible alternative using information and communication technology.
Does a cardiac telerehabilitation program improve risk factor management, patient commitment, and satisfaction compared to an outpatient hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation program in patients undergoing CABG surgery?

This review examines the potential of cardiac telerehabilitation as a flexible alternative to center-based programs for post-CABG patients.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a prevalent and possibly fatal cardiovascular ailment, and it is treated surgically by coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients, are the most commonly affected. Even though CABG is a frequently employed procedure to restore cardiac blood flow, prolonged rehabilitation is necessary for long-term success. For patients with heart disease, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) involves a comprehensive therapeutic approach. It consists of risk mitigation, regular exercise, health education, and efficient stress management. Information and communication technology is used in telerehabilitation (TR), a rehabilitation service that offers a flexible choice that improves self-management. This study examined novel approaches and effective intervention elements while comparing cardiac TR with center-based programs in terms of risk factor management, patient commitment, and satisfaction.
