Summary

Supervised exercise is an essential component of contemporary center-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs. Despite the proven effectiveness, uptake and adherence to supervised exercise-based CR (exCR) remains suboptimal (approximately 50%), especially in rural and remote areas of Sweden. The main reasons for low participation rate in centre-based exCR are different accessibility barriers i.e. long distances, transportation problems or employment commitments. In this randomised clinical trial, the overall aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of, home-based, remotely monitored and coached exCR using the REMOTE-CR system compared to home-based exCR based on individualized information regarding current exercise recommendations but without monitoring and coaching (usual care) to improve exercise capacity. Our hypothesis is that remotely monitored and coached exCR will improve exercise capacity to a greater extent than home-based exCR without monitoring and coaching (usual care).

Conditions

  • Heart Defects, Congenital

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

REMOTE-CR

The patients randomized to remotely monitored exercise can either work out with self-selected activities e.g. Nordic-walking, cycling, skiing or participate in supervised exercise session via video link. Remotely monitored exercise training sessions will be offered monday-friday 13.00-16.00.

OTHER

Control

The patients randomized to be controls will receive individualized information and instructions regarding current exercise recommendations but will not be monitored or coached during their exercise sessions (usual care)
