Study Summary
This trial will compare 2 methods of delivering cardiac rehab: in-person and via telehealth, to see if they have the same effects and who benefits more from one or the other.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who need cardiac rehabilitation and have had a recent heart-related event or procedure, like a heart attack or surgery. They must be able to attend rehab sessions in-person or via telehealth and communicate in English or Spanish. People with unstable arrhythmias making exercise risky, those deemed unsafe by the investigator, hospice patients, or anyone unable to consent cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways of doing cardiac rehab: traditional in-person visits versus remote participation through telehealth. It aims to see if one method is more effective than the other and whether certain patients might benefit more from either approach.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Cardiac rehabilitation typically doesn't involve medication so it's not associated with typical drug side effects. However, participants may experience physical discomfort from exercise or psychological distress during counseling.

Active Control
Group I: In-person cardiac rehabilitationActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will participate in 12-week in-person cardiac rehabilitation as delivered at the site where they are enrolled. The typical course is 36 sessions of group exercise, health education, and counseling over 12 weeks.
Group II: Telehealth cardiac rehabilitationActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will participate in 12-week telehealth cardiac rehabilitation. The program will follow the same core components as in-person cardiac rehabilitation, but in-person supervised exercise will not be required. The core element of telehealth cardiac rehabilitation is 12 weekly individual telehealth sessions between the patient and cardiac rehabilitation provider.
