BACKGROUND Globally, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. Cardiovascular mortality can be decreased by participation in cardiac rehabilitation. Researchers are exploring the use of mHealth technology in cardiac rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review is to examine the effectiveness of randomized controlled trials that use a mHealth intervention as a part of an outpatient and/or home-based cardiac rehabilitation program on improving physical activity and physical fitness outcomes. METHODS For this systematic review, mHealth interventions were limited to text messaging, mobile apps, and use of a mobile phone network for data transmission, used to deliver cardiac rehabilitation program. Using six databases, the search strategy included published English language studies through 2016. Data was extracted independently by two reviewers, and then synthesized. RESULTS The initial search yielded 149 articles, of which 15 articles that represented nine studies met inclusion criteria. Articles were published from 2010 to 2016 and came from two continents. The majority (84%) of participants were male. Generally, the participant mean age was late 50s to early 60s. Text messaging was the most frequently used intervention. The results of the physical activity and physical fitness findings were mixed. Effect sizes for intervention as measured by the 6-minute walk test ranged from 0.46 to 0.58 and peak VO2 ranged from 0.03 to 1.35. CONCLUSIONS Globally, use of mHealth in outpatient and/or home-based cardiac rehabilitation is being studied with greater attention. However, these studies are limited by geography, gender, and age. Therefore, further research in the area of cardiac rehabilitation and mHealth is recommended, especially in developing countries, among women, and older adults.

Introduction: The Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs have gained tremendous importance in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and it’s a challenge to ensure the practice of regular exercise during and after the supervised program. The aim of this study was to determine the factors that influence the physical activity habits at 12 months after the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.Material and Methods: Prospective study, including 580 patients with ischemic heart disease who were consecutively oriented for Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation Unit of Centro Hospitalar do Porto, between January 2008 and June 2011. Physical activity levels were measured with International Physical Activity Questionnaire which was calculated at the beginning of the program, 3 and 12 months later. The following variables were chosen and tested as potential determinants of physical activity habits of 12 months after program: age; sex; modifiable risk factors; functional capacity (achieved in treadmill stress test); laboratory analysis (HbA1c, lipid profile, C-Reactive Protein and Brain Natriuretic Peptide). A linear regression analysis was carried to identify the significant determinants and to find the best model adjustment.Results: Advanced age, female gender, functional capacity and low levels of physical activity prior to the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, as well as a weak evolution of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire during the program were the best univariable predictors of a less favourable evolution of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire during 12 months of follow-up. A multivariable linear regression analysis showed that the best explanatory model included age, gender and evolution of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire during the supervised program (R2 Adj. = 0.318; f = 60.62, p < 0.001).Conclusion: The identification of certain subgroups of patients with lower tendency toward physical activity is beneficial to enable timely and individualized strategies to maximize the therapeutic and preventive potential of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs.
