Home Versus Hospital-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation

"Home versus hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation: a systematic review". This article recently published in the journal Rural and Remote Health asks the question - Home-based or hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation? The evidence reported in this systematic review may benefit rural and remote cardiac patients.

Home-based cardiac rehabilitation offers greater accessibility to cardiac rehabilitation and has the potential to increase uptake. While there have been fewer studies of home-based cardiac rehabilitation, the available data suggest that it has comparable results to hospital-based programs.
