Patients were assigned to two groups: HBCR tailored by monitoring and telecommunication <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic> smartphone app (WeChat) (HBCR group, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 170) or usual care (control group, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 165), with follow-up for up to 42 months. Propensity score matching was conducted to match patients in the HBCR group with those in the control group. The patients in the HBCR group received educational materials weekly and individualized exercise prescription monthly, and the control group only received 20-min education at baseline in the CR clinic. The primary outcome was MACE, analyzed by Cox regression models. The changes in the secondary outcomes were analyzed by paired <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test among the matched cohort.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> One hundred thirty-five HBCR patients were matched with the same number of control patients. Compared to the control group, the HBCR group had a much lower incidence of MACE (1.5 vs. 8.9%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002), with adjusted HR = 0.21, 95% CI 0.07\u20130.85, and also had reduced unscheduled readmission (9.7 vs. 23.0%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002), improved exercise capacity [maximal METs (6.2 vs. 5.1, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002)], higher Seattle Angina Questionnaire score, and better control of risk factors.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> The Chinese HBCR model using smartphone interaction is a safe and effective approach to decrease cardiovascular risks of patients with CHD and improve patients' wellness.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Clinical Trial
