| Description | Cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) is recommended as an important part of a comprehensive approach to prevention and risk management of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although the CR programs bring a lot of benefits, participation of patients remains low. Development of telemedicine and mobile technologies provides the opportunity to improve effectiveness of CR programs by enabling almost real-time observing patients´ physical activity. The purpose of this prospective study is investigating feasibility and effect of home based tele-rehabilitation in patients with CVD. |
