Abstract
In the UK, almost 1 million people are living with heart failure, with heart and circulatory diseases accounting for 27% of all deaths, according to the British Heart Foundation. Current heart failure guidelines support cardiac rehabilitation as an intervention to reduce cardiovascular events, increase exercise tolerance and enhance patients' quality of life. Research indicates that telerehabilitation is an effective component of heart failure management, which helps overcome perceived barriers to cardiac rehabilitation including travel to appointments, long waiting times and accessibility. Understanding patient experiences and increasing telerehabilitation among heart failure patients is pertinent to implementing person-centred care, reducing risk and optimising quality of life.
期刊介绍：
British Journal of Nursing (BJN) provides all nurses, regardless of specialism, with a comprehensive resource that brings together nursing practice, education and leadership. We believe that the nurse''s role has become increasingly demanding, which is why we have made some important updates to the journal. It now has more clinical content, more practical features - with clear learning outcomes – and new ''bitesize'' articles designed for accessibility. These changes have been made for one reason – to help easily obtain essential information you can trust.
