How to do: telerehabilitation in heart failure patients.
According to the present guidelines for heart failure patients, regular exercise training has  obtained the class of recommendation I, level of evidence A. Despite the benefits of cardiac  rehabilitation, many heart failure patients are inactive. Common patient's rejection of existing  forms of rehabilitation and limitations resulting from the disease itself hinder the outpatient  cardiac rehabilitation. That is why home telerehabilitation seems to be the optimal form of  physical activity for heart failure patients.
