Effect of a Virtually Implemented Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

A Clinical Trial Investigating the Effects of a Virtually Implemented Home Based Cardiac Rehab Program with Real-time, Video-based Exercise Supervision and Vitals Monitoring

A clinical trial investigating the effects of a virtually implemented home-based cardiac rehab program with real-time, video based exercise supervision and vitals monitoring.

This study will use a randomized, controlled trial design to test the effectiveness of a virtually implemented cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program with real-time, video based supervised exercise and vitals monitoring as compared to traditional center based rehab in patients with a clinical indication for cardiac rehab. The primary outcome of effectiveness will be change in cardiorespiratory fitness as assessed by maximal VO2 achieved at the start of CR and on upon completion of CR.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with significant exercise limitations other than cardiovascular disease
