MCNAIR Study: coMparative effeCtiveness of iN-person and teleheAlth cardIac Rehabilitation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically recommended program for patients with certain heart conditions. It includes exercise training, health education, and counseling. Unfortunately, many patients do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation. Some find it challenging to attend the in-person sessions. This study aims to compare two methods of delivering cardiac rehabilitation: in-person and through telehealth. The investigators want to know if the effects of these two programs are alike and if certain individuals benefit more from one program over the other.
