Telehealth-based cardiac rehabilitation: a solution to the problem of access?
  The benefits of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) following a cardiac event are well established.1 Participation in a CR programme reduces cardiovascular risk factors, improves quality of life, increases adherence to cardioprotective medications and decreases morbidity and mortality.1 Importantly, these benefits have been demonstrated to be the same regardless of programme duration,2 whether they are delivered by a generalist or specialist,2 and whether they are delivered in a hospital or at home.3 Much of CR is delivered in a face-to-face, group-based setting, in a model that has not changed over the past two decades.4
