Does telehealth intervention delivered cardiac rehabilitation provide non-inferior outcomes compared to center-based supervised programs in low to moderate risk CAD patients?
Telehealth-delivered cardiac rehabilitation is a viable, non-inferior alternative to center-based programs for low to moderate risk CAD patients, particularly for those with limited access.
Telehealth intervention delivered cardiac rehabilitation does not have significantly inferior outcomes compared to center-based supervised program in low to moderate risk CAD patients. Telehealth intervention offers an alternative deliver model of CR for individuals less able to access center-based cardiac rehabilitation. Choices should reflect preferences, anticipation, risk profile, funding, and accessibility to health service.
