Overview
Brief Summary
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.
Detailed Description
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.
