Key result
An 8-week home-based cardiac rehabilitation program improved functional capacity (+1.6 metabolic equivalent tasks), muscle strength, and quality of life in patients after an ischemic cardiac event.
Why the study?
Center-based cardiac rehabilitation programs are widely underused, and the safety and efficacy of home-based alternatives remain unclear, especially for older and female patients.

Does an 8-week home-based cardiac telerehabilitation program improve functional capacity and quality of life in patients after an acute myocardial infarction?
An 8-week home-based cardiac telerehabilitation program is safe and effectively improves functional capacity, muscle strength, and quality of life in patients recovering from a recent acute myocardial infarction.
Calvo-López et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Ischemic heart disease (n=50). Home-based cardiac rehabilitation program was evaluated on Functional capacity, adherence to a healthy lifestyle, and quality of life. An 8-week home-based cardiac rehabilitation program improved functional capacity (+1.6 metabolic equivalent tasks), muscle strength, and quality of life in patients after an ischemic cardiac event.
