- Remote cardiac rehabilitation (RCR) is a method designed for patients recovering from cardiovascular diseases, utilizing real-time monitoring and technology for safety and effectiveness.
- A study in Japan involved 53 RCR patients exercising at home for 2-3 months, with real-time support, and compared their results to 103 patients who underwent traditional center-based rehabilitation.
- The findings showed that RCR was just as safe and effective in improving exercise capacity as traditional methods, with no significant complications reported in the RCR group.
