Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent advances in telecommunications technology have raised the possibility of telehealth intervention delivering cardiac telerehabilitation, which may provide the efficacy of health services in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to investigate the effects of home-based cardiac telerehabilitation (HBCTR) in patients undergoing PCI.
Methods
We performed a comprehensive search of the following electronic databases: PubMed, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, and WANFANG. For the prespecified outcomes, the primary outcomes were results of physical function (the six-minute walking test, 6MWT) and quality of life (QoL) of the participants. The secondary outcomes were results of (1) blood pressure; (2) full lipid profile (3) reliable assessment of anxiety and depression in patients.
Results
All studies were conducted between 2013 and 2022, and a total of 5 articles could be included in the quantitative meta-analysis. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the HBCTR intervention group and the control group in 6WMT (MD 16.59, 95%CI 7.13 to 26.06, P = 0.0006), but there was no difference in QoL (SMD − 0.25, 95%CI − 1.63 to 1.13, P = 0.73). According to the fixed effects model, there was a statistically significant difference between the HBCTR group versus the control group (MD − 2.88, 95%CI − 5.19 to − 0.57, P = 0.01), but not in diastolic blood pressure. Likewise, significant improvements of triglycerides and in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were observed in HBTCR groups, but no significant differences were observed regarding total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Conclusion
This systematic review and meta-analysis have proven that the HBCTR is one of the promisingly effective cardiac rehabilitation strategies that improve cardiorespiratory fitness and reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors. With the continuous improvement of the telerehabilitation network, it is expected to serve in clinical.
