Brief summary
Cardiac tele-rehabilitation in a hybrid form can be a choise for the management of cardiovascular diseases. The aim is to increase the participation rate of patients in cardiac rehabilitation. This new form of care can be as effective as traditional care.
Detailed description
The Covid-19 pandemic has had indirect effects on the health system, particularly in the management of cardiovascular diseases. Rehabilitation centres had to adapt their operation to the recommendations of health authorities. The choice appeared to be unavoidable: tele-rehabilitation care in a hybrid form. Moreover, Many patients do not participate at this kind of care. Many identified factors can explain this low rate of participation : a lack of proximity facilities does not promote patient participation. The objective of this study is to demonstrate a comparable effectiveness between a cardiac telerehabilitation programme in hybrid form and a cardiac classic rehabilitation programme.
Interventions
Hybrid approach in cardiac telerehabilitation. Patients underwent 20 cardiac rehabilitation sessions: alternatively, patients underwent 10 classical cardiac rehabilitation sessions in the clinic and 10 cardiac telerehabilitation sessions at home.
