"Such programs help patients recover better, feel healthier, and live longer," Thomas said by email."Patients who are not able to participate in a center-based cardiac rehabilitation program due to distance, cost, or other barriers, should discuss with their healthcare provider the possibility of participating in a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program."

For stable and low-risk patients, some research already suggests that home-based rehab may work as well as hospital based programs, according to the statement published in Circulation.
