Comparing In-Person and Telehealth Cardiac Rehabilitation (MCNAIR Study)

The MCNAIR Study is looking at two ways to deliver cardiac rehabilitation, a program that helps people with certain heart conditions get stronger. This program includes exercise, health education, and counseling. The study wants to compare "In-person cardiac rehabilitation" (attending sessions in person) with "Telehealth cardiac rehabilitation" (doing sessions remotely). You might be able to join if you are 18 or older and have had a heart attack, heart surgery, chronic stable angina (chest pain), or chronic systolic heart failure (when your heart can't pump enough blood). The main goal is to see if your walking distance improves similarly with both types of rehabilitation after 12 months. The study plans to enroll 516 people, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
