Integration of Telemedicine and Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation: Feasibility, Efficacy, and Adherence
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility, efficacy, and adherence of home-based cardiac rehabilitation with the integration of telemedicine. Several components will be assessed such as quality-of-life, nutritional counseling, maximum metabolic activity (MET's), diabetic management, tobacco cessation, lipid, blood pressure, and psychosocial management. These tasks will be accomplished through concurrent conversations between patients and their therapist's utilizing telemedicine with observed exercise training.

Detailed Description
The focus of this study is to determine the feasibility, efficacy, and adherence of home-based cardiac rehabilitation with the integration of telemedicine. The study consists of an initial review, rehabilitation sessions, nutrition consultation, and risk stratification. Once the patient is cleared for the rehabilitation program, they will be assigned a cardiac rehab specialist and begin the 36 rehabilitation sessions. The sessions include pre-session questions, surveys, pre-, during, and post vitals, exercise protocol, and off-the-device exercises.
