Impact of Teleprehabilitation on Cardiac Surgery Outcomes
Personalized teleprehabilitation has shown significant benefits for patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. A recent trial involving 394 patients revealed that those undergoing a teleprehabilitation program experienced a lower rate of major adverse vascular events compared to those in a control group. This intervention, which included strategies for smoking cessation and functional exercise training, resulted in a notable reduction in hospitalizations for heart failure and severe cardiac events. Furthermore, it demonstrated positive effects on smoking rates and decreased risks associated with pulmonary complications and depression.
