Zusammenfassung

Nach akutem Myokardinfarkt sollte die kardiologische Rehabilitation integraler Bestandteil jeder Versorgung sein, die sich am dauerhaften Therapieerfolg orientiert. Telemedizinische Studien untersuchten überwiegend häusliches Ergometertraining mit EKG-Monitoring und Internet-basierte Schulungen zur Lebensstilmodifikation bei ausgewählten Patienten. Dadurch kann die multimodale kardiologische Rehabilitation nicht ersetzt werden. Die Telemedizin sollte dennoch unbedingt weiter evaluiert werden, weil sie die große Chance beinhaltet, Rehabilitation auch den Menschen zukommen zu lassen, die aus geographischen, logistischen oder psychosozialen Gründen ansonsten keinen oder nur einen begrenzten Zugang dazu hätten.

Abstract

After acute myocardial infarction, cardiac rehabilitation should be an essential part of any therapy aimed at long-term success. Telemedical studies have mostly investigated ECG-monitored exercise training at home and internet-based counseling for lifestyle modification in selected patients. This approach cannot replace the holistic and multidisciplinary approach of cardiac rehabilitation. Telemedicine should be further evaluated, however, as it offers significant opportunities to facilitate access to rehabilitation for those patients who would otherwise not be able to attend for geographical, logistic or psychosocial reasons.
