Abstract Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, many cardiac rehabilitation (CR) services and programs are stopped. Because CR is a Class I level A recommendation with clinical benefits that are now well documented, the cessation of CR programs can lead to dramatic consequences in terms of public health. We proposed here a viewpoint of significant interest about the sudden need to develop remote home-based CR programs both in clinical research and in clinical care routine. This last decade, the literature on remote home-based cardiac rehabilitation programs has been increasing but to date only clinical research experiences have been implemented. Benefits are numerous and the relevance of this approach has obviously increased with the actual health emergency. The COVID-19 crisis, the important prevalence of smartphones and high speed internet during confinement should be viewed as an opportunity to promote a major shift in CR programs with the use of telemedicine to advance the health of a larger number of individuals with cardiac disease.

COVID-19 大流行隔离期间的心脏康复：中心项目面临的挑战

摘要 由于 COVID-19 的流行，许多心脏康复 (CR) 服务和计划被停止。由于 CR 是 I 级 A 级建议，其临床益处现已得到充分证明，因此停止 CR 计划可能会导致公共卫生方面的严重后果。我们在这里提出了一个关于在临床研究和临床护理常规中突然需要开发远程家庭 CR 计划的重要观点。在过去的十年里，关于远程家庭心脏康复计划的文献一直在增加，但迄今为止只有临床研究经验得到了实施。好处很多，这种方法的相关性随着实际的卫生紧急情况明显增加。COVID-19 危机，
