Effectiveness of a Cardiac Telerehabilitation Program in Chronic Heart Failure
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Cardiac Telerehabilitation Program in Chronic Heart Failure
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether a home-based cardiac tele-rehabilitation program can improve functional capacity in adults (18 years and older) with chronic heart failure. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does tele-rehabilitation improve peak oxygen uptake (VO₂ max) compared to standard in-hospital rehabilitation? Does it improve cardiac function, exercise tolerance, biochemical markers, and quality of life? Are functional gains maintained at 24 weeks? Researchers will compare patients who opt for tele-rehabilitation using wearable devices and a remote monitoring platform with those undergoing standard in-person rehabilitation. Participants will follow an 8-week individualized training program and undergo assessments at baseline, 4, 8, 16, and 24 weeks.
