Exploring the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of a real-time cardiac telerehabilitation and tele coaching programme using wearable devices in people with a recent myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) constitutes the recommended nonpharmacological approach for cardiac patients with cardiovascular disease such as people following a recent (i.e., < 4 week) myocardial infarction (MI). Recent evidence suggests that cardiac telerehabilitation may be as effective as traditional (i.e., in person) CR in people following a recent MI. Nevertheless, the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of such an exercise programme has yet to be examined.

Methods

Forty-four (11 women, 33 men) people following a recent MI were randomly allocated into two groups (online home-based and gym-based groups). The groups underwent a 24-week CR programme thrice per week. All patients performed the baseline, and 24 weeks follow up measurements where feasibility, acc
