title: [Telemedicine during cardiac rehabilitation after acute myocardial infarction].
abstract: After acute myocardial infarction, cardiac rehabilitation should be an essential part of any therapy aimed at long-term success. Telemedical studies have mostly investigated ECG-monitored exercise training at home and internet-based counseling for lifestyle modification in selected patients. This approach cannot replace the holistic and multidisciplinary approach of cardiac rehabilitation. Telemedicine should be further evaluated, however, as it offers significant opportunities to facilitate access to rehabilitation for those patients who would otherwise not be able to attend for geographical, logistic or psychosocial reasons.
