Abstract
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a structured evidence-based intervention technology in chronic stage of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), including patient education, health behavior modification, drug treatment and exercise training. Evidence has showed that CR therapy further improved secondary prevention outcomes in patients with CVD. However, its utilization rate in China is very low. Among eligible patients, only a few have received CR treatment. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to propose new strategies to improve CR participation. Center guided home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CHBCR) is a potential effective strategy. In contrast to center-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) service under medical supervision, CHBCR relies on remote guidance and indirect exercise supervision, in which patients receive CR at home, not in the traditional cardiac rehabilitation center. The purpose of this consensus is to provide the advantages, indications, contraindications, construction of CHBCR center, core components and quality control of CHBCR, in order to promote the scientific implementation of CHBCR in China, and benefit more cardiovascular disease patients.
