An aetiology-based subanalysis of the Telerehabilitation in Heart Failure Patients (TELEREH-HF) trial.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The aim of our study was to analyse the benefits of a 9 week hybrid comprehensive telerehabilitation (HCTR) programme in heart failure (HF) patients according to aetiology, as a subanalysis of the Telerehabilitation in Heart Failure Patients (TELEREH-HF) trial.

Methods and results

Overall, 555 (65.3%) patients with ischaemic (IS) and 295 (34.7%) patients with non-ischaemic (NIS) HF aetiology were randomized. There were no differences between the effect of HCTR and usual care (UC) on the primary outcome of number of days alive and out of the hospital in 26 months from the time of randomization in either aetiology (Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test), and no heterogeneity of effect between the aetiologies was noted (van Elteren test, P = 0.746).
