Online Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Program for Japanese Patients With Coronary Artery Disease　- A Pilot Study Protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program is recommended for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, many facilities do not have established programs for dietary guidance and patient education, resulting in an exercise-based CR program and limited efficacy for secondary prevention.
