Study name Utilisation of Telemedicine in Optimal Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Patients After Myocardial Revascularization (RESTORE)
Methods RCT
Participants Inclusion criteria:
  • age over 18 and below 70

  • completed revascularization in participants with stable or unstable angina or after myocardial infarction without ST‐segment elevation (NSTEMI)

  • in participants with suspected myocardial scars, MRI will be recommended to confirm myocardial viability

  • eligibility to participate in a program of early cardiac rehabilitation

  • signed informed consent form

  • the ability to use telerehabilitation system


Exclusion criteria:
  • acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation/new onset of left bundle branch block (LBBB)

  • suboptimal (not completed) revascularisation

  • ejection fraction < 40%.

  • acute heart failure (Killip IV) at the time of admission to the hospital

  • dual antiplatelet therapy can not be maintained for 1 year after PCI

  • haemorrhagic stroke in the past

  • ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemia in previous 6 weeks

  • platelet count < 100,000 / mm3

  • chronic renal failure with creatinine clearance < 30mL / min / 1.73 m2

  • planned surgery

  • pregnancy or planned pregnancies

  • expected life expectancy less than 3 years after enrolment

Interventions Intervention:
cardiac supervision and rehabilitation ‐ optimal, continuous and regularly controlled tele‐rehabilitation, based on exercise training, intensive dietary and educational program focused on lifestyle and risk factor modification. 
Comparator:
cardiac supervision
Outcomes Mortality, cardiovascular events
