Effects of exercise based cardiac rehabilitation delivery modes on chronic heart failure: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Chronic heart failure (CHF) represents one of the most severe and advanced stages of cardiovascular disease. Despite the critical importance of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in CHF management, while studies have explored the effectiveness of various CR delivery modes and offered valuable context-specific insights, their relative efficacy remains inconsistent across different patient groups, healthcare environments, and intervention approaches. A clearer understanding requires comprehensive comparisons and in-depth analyses to address these variations. Systematic searches were conducted in databases including Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science, up to August 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature according to strict inclusion
