MI-PACE Home-Based Cardiac Telerehabilitation Program for Heart Attack Survivors: Usability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac rehabilitation programs, consisting of exercise training and disease management interventions, reduce morbidity and mortality after acute myocardial infarction.

Objective

In this pilot study, we aimed to developed and assess the feasibility of delivering a health watch-informed 12-week cardiac telerehabilitation program to acute myocardial infarction survivors who declined to participate in center-based cardiac rehabilitation.
