Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of an integrated telerehabilitation platform for home-based cardiac REHABilitation in patients with heart failure (E-REHAB): protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is strongly recommended as a medical treatment to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients with heart failure (HF); however, participation rates in CR are low compared with other evidence-based treatments. One reason for this is the geographical distance between patients' homes and hospitals. To address this issue, we developed an integrated telerehabilitation platform, RH-01, for home-based CR. We hypothesised that using the RH-01 platform for home-based CR would demonstrate non-inferiority compared with traditional centre-based CR.

Methods and analysis

The E-REHAB trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RH-01 for home-based CR compared with traditional centre-based CR for patients with HF. This clinical trial
