Cardiac rehabilitation is an independent factor for reducing mortality from CVD, total mortality, and hospitalization rates. Telemedicine techniques can be used to increase patient compliance to rehabilitation activities. Telecare in patients with heart failure can be defined as monitoring, which consists of transmitting symptoms, signs and / or biological or physiological data from a remote place for data interpretation and decision making. Telemonitoring includes the concept of tele-rehabilitation, which is defined as controlled remote complex cardiac rehabilitation. Tele-rehabilitation of patients with CVD at home is a promising solution to the problem of accessibility and adherence of patients to rehabilitation. Assessing cost-effectiveness, the cost of rehabilitation may possibly be reduced due to this method and its further development. The task of clinicians participating in training programs for patients with HF is to create a multicenter scientific collaboration dedicated to the home rehabilitation of patients with HF. The results may allow the inclusion of tele-rehabilitation programs in the third stage of rehabilitation as an alternative to out-patient cardiac rehabilitation.
