Summary
The study explores the different modes of Cardiac Rehabilitation delivery including the use of a web-based programme. Cardiac Rehabilitation provides a structured, comprehensive programme, proven to reduce cardiovascular mortality and improve overall Quality of Life. However, as uptake remains relatively low with only 50% attending, exploring the benefits of offering a menu of programme options may allow greater patient choice and accessibility, meeting individual needs.
This study aims to compare how effective Cardiac Rehabilitation Programmes are on improving cardiovascular patients physical and mental wellbeing using a web-based compared with traditional cardiac rehab programmes in the hospital or through a combination of both.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
