The Effect of a Smartphone-assisted Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Patients With Heart Failure.
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Heart Failure
In brief
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the impact of a case manager-led smartphone-assisted hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program with usual care in patients with HF. Participants will undergo a 12-week program led by a case manager and assisted by a smartphone. The study aims to answer two main questions: 1. Is the novel cardiac rehabilitation model feasible for patients with HF? 2. Does the intervention group show a significant improvement in exercise capacity and adherence compared to the usual care group?
