Adherence

Real-time cardiac telerehabilitation reduces sedentary time and lowers medication costs compared to center-based cardiac rehabilitation, while center-based rehabilitation results in smaller waist and hip circumferences.

While both programs improve fitness, telerehabilitation helps patients sit less and costs less in medications. However, center-based programs might lead to slightly better reductions in waist and hip size. Choose telerehabilitation if cost and convenience are priorities, or center-based if anthropometric reduction is the primary goal.
