摘　　要：This study aimed to compare the impact of a cardiac telerehabilitation(CTR)protocol aimed at patients with cardiovascular diseases(CVDs)during the period of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)associated with social isolation.This retrospective cohort study included 58 participants diagnosed with stable cardiovascular diseases(CVDs),which were divided into three groups:conventional cardiac rehabilitation(CCR)group(n=20),composed of patients undergoing conventional cardiac rehabilitation;cardiac telerehabilitation(CTR)group(n=18),composed of patients undergoing cardiac telerehabilitation and control group(n=20),composed of patients admitted for cardiac rehabilitation who had not started training programs.The results showed that body mass index was reduced(p=0.019)and quality of life was improved(e.g.,limitations due to physical aspects[p=0.021),vitality[p=0.045]and limitations due to emotional aspects[p=0.024])by CCR compared to baseline.These outcomes were not improved by CTR(p>0.05).However,this strategy prevented clinical deterioration in the investigated patients.Although CCR achieved a superior effect on clinical improvement and quality of life,CTR was relevant to stabilize the blood pressure and quality of life of patients with cardiovascular diseases during the period of COVID-19-associated social isolation.
