I read the study by Jafri et al. 1 with great interest. The authors evaluated outcomes of patients with or without home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR).

Although HBCR was significantly associated with a lower risk of the combined all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalizations up to 12 months, the adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of HBCR for all-cause mortality, There is not enough data present regarding the effectiveness of HBCR/HBCTR in the literature; therefore, further studies are required. In the era of the coronavirus disease-19 pandemic, valid HBCR/HBCTR may serve as an effective alternative to manage patients with CHD.
