Determinants of participation in cardiac telerehabilitation during the first surge of COVID-19.

This study demonstrates that the rate of participation in TR was high (69%). Of the analysed characteristics, none was directly correlated with the willingness to participate in TR. Further research is needed to further assess determinants, barriers and facilitators of TR. Also, research is needed on better delineating digital health literacy and on how to reach also those patients that are less motivated and or less digitally literate.
