Assessment of ECG during hybrid comprehensive telerehabilitation in heart failure patients—Subanalysis of the Telerehabilitation in Heart Failure Patients (TELEREH‐HF) randomized clinical trial

Abstract Background Exercise training in heart failure (HF) patients should be monitored to ensure patients’ safety. Electrocardiographic (ECG) telemonitoring was used to assess the safety of hybrid comprehensive telerehabilitation (HCTR). Objective Analysis of ECG recorded during HCTR in HF patient...
