Cardiac Telerehabilitation - Current State and Clinical Perspectives
Journal Title: Heart Research – Open Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) are regarded as a leading cause of death globally, constituting important medical, social and economical problem. Systematic reviews and metaanalyses show the positive effect of exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR). Despite wellestablished benefits of CR, many heart failure patients do not attend such programs for a variety of reasons. Cardiac telerehabilitation has the huge potential to deliver CR programs to aforementioned patients. The aim of this study was threefold: to establish the current state of the cardiac telerehabilitation, investigate the extent to which the available opportunities in cardiac telerehabilitation are being exploited, and discuss clinical perspectives and directions of further research.
