Abstract:

Background Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) favorable and independently alters the clinical course of cardiovascular diseases resulting in a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiac mortality. However, only 15-30% of all eligible patients participate in a phase 2 ambulatory program. Uptake rates of community based programs following phase 2 CR are even lower and adherence to long-term CR is extremely poor. Newer care models, involving programs that are delivered remotely such as telehealth programs, show considerable promise for increasing adherence. In this view, PATHway (Physical Activity Towards Health) is being developed and needs to be evaluated on feasibility and potential clinical benefit. Methods In a multicentre randomized controlled pilot trial, 120 patients (m/f, age 40-80yrs) completing a phase 2 ambulatory CR program will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to PATHway or usual care. PATHway involves a complex comprehensive, internet-enabled, sensor-based home ...
