"Future patient II" telerehabilitation for patients with heart failure: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Heart failure is a global problem affecting millions of people worldwide. Current care of heart failure patients follows standard protocols and often overlooks the patients' specific needs, which leads to low compliance in the rehabilitation phase. Telerehabilitation, where the patients communicate with health care professionals about their rehabilitation program and monitor their vital signs, aims to increase the degree of compliance as well as enhancing their quality of life.

The Danish Future Patient Telerehabilitation Program for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Design and Pilot Study in Collaboration With Patients and Their Spouses.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is predicted to more than double in prevalence over the next 20 years. Tailored patient education is recommended as an important aspect of AF care. Current guidelines emphasize that patients become more active participants in the management of their own disease, yet there are no rehabilitation programs for patients with AF in the Danish health care system.

"Future Patient" Telerehabilitation for Patients With Heart Failure: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
