Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation Among Attendees From a Large Health Care System During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors' conclusion
Patients participating in HBCR during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated similar participation rates compared to CBCR. HBCR appears to be similarly effective at improving several intermediate outcomes compared to CBCR.
Study context
