Remote Exercise Guidance and Rehabilitation After Heart Failure: A Multicentre Randomized Controlled Trial of a Hospital-Initiated Digital Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

Full Title:

Objective:

To determine whether a hospital-initiated, 12-week digital cardiac rehabilitation program improves functional capacity compared with enhanced usual care in patients recently hospitalized with acute or worsening heart failure.

Population:

Adults recently hospitalized with acute or worsening heart failure.

A hospital-initiated, home-based digital cardiac rehabilitation program (MyHeartCoach-HF) incorporating individualized exercise training, education, wellness resources, remote monitoring, and behavioural support compared with enhanced usual care.
