Traditional Versus Hybrid Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation

Abstract

Hybrid CR was not significantly different from the traditional model in terms of HRQoL, functional capacity, heart health behaviors, and risk factors, with no differences in completion rates.

Prevalence of US Adults With Cardiovascular Disease Reporting Barriers to Clinician Office Visits

“…It remains unknown whether all centers will have the financial resources to reopen. Some programs began to instead offer home-based or hybrid CR 18,52–55. Home-based models may reduce overall costs associated with CR as was found in the FIT@Home study 56.…”

Hybrid versus traditional cardiac rehabilitation models: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…A total of 13 papers were further included for data extraction, of which six articles were included in the final analysis ( Fig. 1) [2,5,11,[18][19][20]. Five studies were conducted between 2011 and 2017, and one study was conducted in the United States in 2000.…”

“…The World Health Organization estimated an annual global death rate of 17.7 million from all CVDs and 7.4 million from coronary heart disease [1]. Due to advancing health care services, the rate of survival from acute cardiac conditions is increasing; however, patients remain at high risk of recurrence and mortality, especially when they do not adhere to risk factor-modification programmes [2].…”

Clinical Status of Cardiac Rehabilitation Manners and Models

“…In another study, the use of a mobile application to monitor patients taking ticagrelor post-myocardial infarction showed significantly improved medication compliance [ 29 ]. A study by Gabelhousej et al [ 30 ] showed that the hospital-centered, community-based combined cardiac rehabilitation mode integrating mobile technology had a similar effect as traditional cardiac rehabilitation mode but had the advantage of convenience. Research has also explored the application of virtual reality (VR) in the field of cardiac rehabilitation [ 31 ].…”
