Key result
Cardiac telerehabilitation was feasible, safe, and effective in improving physical activity and healthy behaviors in older adults with coronary heart disease (P=0.008).
Why the study?
Cardiac telerehabilitation has comparable safety and efficacy to in-person rehabilitation, but its effectiveness, feasibility, and usability remain unclear in under-reported older adults with CHD.
Does a 12-week cardiac telerehabilitation intervention improve physical activity and healthy behaviors in older adults with coronary heart disease compared to standard of care?
Population
43 older adults (84 % males) with CHD
Comparison

Does a 12-week cardiac telerehabilitation intervention improve physical activity and healthy behaviors in older adults with coronary heart disease compared to standard of care?
p-value: p=0.008
Cardiac telerehabilitation is a feasible and effective strategy to improve physical activity and healthy behaviors in older adults with coronary heart disease.
Su et al. (2024) conducted an RCT in Coronary heart disease (n=43). Cardiac telerehabilitation vs. Standard of care was evaluated on Physical activity and healthy behaviors (p=0.008). Cardiac telerehabilitation was feasible, safe, and effective in improving physical activity and healthy behaviors in older adults with coronary heart disease (P=0.008).
