NCT ID NCT05328375
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program, combining a few clinic visits with mostly home-based telehealth sessions, is feasible for heart attack survivors. Ten participants were enrolled to see if they would join and stick with the program. The study was completed but faced challenges, including a change in the telehealth vendor.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
telehealth-enhanced hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If this approach proves feasible, it could offer heart attack survivors a more flexible, home-based option for cardiac rehabilitation, potentially improving access and adherence.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to larger groups. The intervention was also disrupted by a vendor change, highlighting potential real-world implementation challenges.
