New treatment option for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)
Official title TeleheartCR vs. Clinic-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation After Acute Coronary Syndrome
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07541014
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an effective evidence-based intervention that improves outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but many eligible patients do not complete the program. A hybrid CR intervention that combines telehealth, home-based, and clinic-based components (TeleheartCR) may increase participation by addressing barriers to access while maintaining the functional capacity benefits of traditional CR.
