Feasibility of telerehabilitation for heart failure patients inaccessible for outpatient rehabilitation.

Aims: Despite strong recommendations, outpatient cardiac rehabilitation is underused in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Possible barriers are frailty, accessibility, and rural living, which may be overcome by telerehabilitation. We designed a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility of a 3-month real-time, home-based telerehabilitation, high-intensity exercise programme for CHF patients who are either unable or unwilling to participate in standard outpatient cardiac rehabilitation and to explore outcomes of self-efficacy and physical fitness at 3 months post-intervention.
