Home vs. Hospital Heart Rehab After Heart Attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to do cardiac rehabilitation (heart exercise and education programs) after a heart attack: one done at home via telehealth (video visits) and one at a clinic. The goal is to see which approach works better and is easier for patients to stick with.
