Effectiveness of a Tele-cardiac Rehabilitation (Tele-CR) Program
Taiwan126 participantsStarted 2025-10-01
Plain-language summary
This study represents the second phase of a three-year research project aimed at evaluating both the short- and long-term effects of a six-month tele-cardiac rehabilitation (tele-CR) program in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The primary outcomes include quality of life, self-efficacy, self-management, medication adherence, and mental health (anxiety and depression). In addition, comprehensive metabolic parameters will be assessed, including body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), and lipid profile markers such as triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
