A digitally supported shared decision-making approach for patients during cardiac rehabilitation: a randomized controlled trial

This study demonstrated that the addition of SDM-based TR program to center-based CR significantly improved patients' quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity levels compared to center-based CR alone. The SharedHeart study stands out as one of the first to integrate a digitally-supported SDM approach in CR, empowering patients to take an active role in their rehabilitation. Future research should focus on the long-term impact of digital interventions, particularly in reducing adverse cardiovascular events and enhancing patient self-management.
