  "summary": "Remote exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation may serve as an additional option to supplement center-based rehabilitation for patients after a myocardial infarction, according to a study presented at ESC Congress 2026. The Remote Exercise SWEDEHEART trial found that remotely delivered exercise did not significantly increase the number of completed sessions compared to center-based exercise alone, but both forms of rehabilitation resulted in similar completion rates (13.8% and 13.6%, respectively). While remotely delivered cardiac rehabilitation may improve access and participation rates, it appears to be most effective when used in conjunction with traditional center-based programs rather than as a standalone alternative.",
