During the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, an even greater gap in CR care has emerged due to the decreased availability of on-site services.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff"><strong>Aim </strong></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff">Evaluation of the safety of a CR-HB program during COVID-19 pandemic. </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff"><strong>Methods</strong></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff"> Prospective cohort study which included patients (pts) who were participating in a centre-based CR program and accepted to participate in a CR-HB after the centre-based CR program closure due to COVID-19. The CR-HB consisted in a multidisciplinary digital CR program, including: 1.patient regular clinical and exercise risk assessment; 2.psychological tele-appointments and group sessions; 3.online exercise training sessions, which consisted of recorded videos and real time online exercise training sessions (each session recommended 3 times per week, during 60 minutes); 4.structured online educational program for pts and family members/caregivers, including educational videos and webinars; 5.follow-up fortnightly questionnaire to evaluate risk factors control and need for appointments or directing to hospital; 6. nutrition tele-appointments; 7.physician tele-appointments, scheduled according to follow-up questionnaire or at pts request (e-mail or telephone) to avoid unnecessary exposure and overload in the hospital. Minor and major adverse events such as hospitalizations due to cardiac event or other non CV reason, cardiac or noncardiac death, during or immediately after the exercise sessions, were collected.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff"><strong>Results </strong></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff">116 cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients (62.6±8.9 years, 95 males) who were attending a Centre-based CR program were included in a CR-HB program. Almost 90% (n=103) of the participants had coronary artery disease; 13.8% pts had heart failure. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000">The mean LVEF was 52±11%; 31,1% of the population had at least moderate risk. </span></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff">Regarding risk factors, obesity was the most common risk factor (74.7%) followed by hypertension (59.6%), family history (41.8%), dyslipidaemia (37.9%), diabetes (18.1%), and smoking (12.9%). </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff">Ninety-eight CVD pts (85.5%) successfully completed all the online assessments. 3 male participants dropped out for hospitalization due to knee surgery, pacemaker implantation and in-stent restenosis without relation to exercise sessions. No major events were registered and only 1 minor adverse event, sprained ankle, was reported during the training sessions.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff"><strong>Conclusions </strong></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="background-color:#ffffff">This CR-HB program, originated by the need of social distancing during COVID-19 pandemic, revealed to be a valuable and safe strategy to reach at distance most pts previously in a Centre-based CR program.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><br /> </p>
