Comparison of Center-Based and Tele Cardiac Rehabilitation on Functional Capacity, Quality of Life, and Fear of Activity in Coronary Artery Disease: A Patient-Preferred, Controlled, Prospective Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Remotely supervised exercise at home or outdoors, Hospital-based exercise program, and 2 other interventions for Coronary Artery Disease and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aimed to compare the effects of tele-cardiac rehabilitation (TCR) and hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) on functional capacity (maximum oxygen consumption), fear of activity and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease. CAD). The rehabilitation program included patient-specific aerobic and peripheral muscle strengthening exercises for four weeks and 3 sessions per week. While the HBCR group performed the exercise program under supervision in the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) unit, the TCR group performed the exercise program at home/outdoors using a Polar H9 heart rate monitor and elastic band.
