NCT ID NCT05933083
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways of delivering cardiac rehabilitation: in-person sessions and telehealth sessions. Cardiac rehab includes exercise training, health education, and counseling for people with heart conditions like heart attack, heart failure, or after heart surgery. The study will enroll 516 adults and measure changes in walking distance and quality of life over 12 months. The goal is to see if telehealth works as well as in-person care and which patients benefit most from each approach.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cardiac rehabilitation (exercise training, health education, and counseling) delivered either in-person or via telehealth
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that telehealth cardiac rehab is as effective as in-person sessions, making it easier for more heart patients to participate.
What could go wrong
This is a comparative effectiveness study, not a test of a new treatment. Results may show differences in outcomes for certain groups, but won't prove a cure or major breakthrough.
