Can rehab from home match in-person recovery after heart bypass?
NCT ID NCT07232693
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a 12-week home-based telerehabilitation program could improve anxiety, depression, and quality of life as well as traditional center-based cardiac rehab in 110 patients who had coronary artery bypass grafting. The home program included personalized exercise, remote monitoring, and weekly counseling via phone or video. A third group received usual care for comparison.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- home-based telerehabilitation program (exercise, remote monitoring, and counseling)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a home-based program is as effective as in-person rehab, making it easier for patients to recover after heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed trial with 110 participants, so results are available but may not apply to all patients. The home program requires a smartphone and willingness to participate, which may limit who can benefit.
