Overview

Prospective cohort study evaluates telerehabilitation's impact on VO2max and functional outcomes in CHF patients, suggesting enhanced accessibility.

Key Points

  • Telerehabilitation improved peak oxygen uptake during an 8-week program for patients with chronic heart failure.
  • Primary outcome shows changes in VO2max, with participants using digital technologies and wearables for monitoring.
  • Controlled cohort design, randomizing 220 patients with chronic heart failure to telerehabilitation or standard rehabilitation.
  • Results may inform personalized rehabilitation strategies, enhancing accessibility and adherence in cardiac care.
