Cardiac Rehabilitation of Heart Failure Patients by Telemedicine (READ)

March 17, 2016 updated by: University Hospital, Caen

Cardiac Rehabilitation of Heart Failure Patients by Telemedicine: a Randomized Multicenter Study.

The purpose of the READ study is to compare the continuation of the cardiac rehabilitation at home with clinical follow-up, therapeutic education, and advice on the training at the stamina, via telemedicine with the classic strategy in day hospital.
