Remote Exercise-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation Shows Similar Completion Rates When Combined With Center-Based Programs
Source Summary
A study presented at ESC Congress 2026 found that remote exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation, when added to center-based programs, achieved similar completion rates compared to center-based programs alone. The findings suggest remote rehabilitation serves as a supplementary option rather than a standalone replacement for traditional center-based care.
Why it matters
The findings clarify that remote cardiac rehabilitation is most effective as a complement to center-based programs rather than as a replacement, informing clinical practice guidelines for rehabilitation delivery.
