The problem of a patient\u2019s non-adherence to cardiac rehabilitation programs is still a challenge, resulting in disappointing long-term benefits of cardiac rehabilitation. Telehealth, including telerehabilitation, has grown in popularity to improve access to quality healthcare. It is more valuable and safer compared to usual rehabilitation care, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic, to cut down unnecessary hospital visits and reduce the risk of cluster infections. This study aims to identify the efficacy of relevant randomized control trials (RCTs) using telerehabilitation in managing heart failure. The model, delivery care, safety, and efficacy were assessed. Material and Methods: This study was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The authors included relevant records published in the last ten years from three databases: PubMed\/MEDLINE, ProQuest, and EBSCO. Each included study was further assessed using Cochrane\u2019s Risk of Bias (Rob 2) tool. Results: The telerehabilitation models consisted of cellphones, instant messaging, or online videoconferencing software. Some also included tool sets to monitor patients\u2019 vital signs regularly or during exercise. Most patients adhered to and completed all provided programs. Cardiac telerehabilitation successfully improved patients\u2019 physical fitness, quality of life, and mental health. No major adverse outcomes or significant complications were associated with the program. Conclusion: Cardiac telerehabilitation has the potential to deliver rehabilitation for heart failure patients, evidenced by its feasibility, efficacy, and safety. As a future perspective, this delivery care type can be applied throughout transmissible disease outbreaks or even globally.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58101321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]],"date-time":"2022-09-22T01:47:06Z","timestamp":1663811226000},"page":"1321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The Potential of Cardiac Telerehabilitation as Delivery Rehabilitation Care Model in Heart Failure during COVID-19 and Transmissible Disease Outbreak: A Systematic Scoping Review of the Latest RCTs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4520-1650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sidik","family":"Maulana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Professional Nursing Program, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung 45363, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4862-4950","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanny","family":"Trisyani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Critical Care and Emergency Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung 45363, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8600-2784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ristina","family":"Mirwanti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Critical Care and Emergency Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung 45363, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1480-6155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shakira","family":"Amirah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Undergraduate Medical Education, Undergraduate Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia, Depok 16424, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4789-0747","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kelvin","family":"Kohar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Undergraduate Medical Education, Undergraduate Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia, Depok 16424, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aprilia Inggritika","family":"Priyatmoko Putri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professional Nursing Program, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung 45363, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evi","family":"Novianti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professional Nursing Program, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung 45363, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"204","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2020.07.009","article-title":"Effect of Heart Failure on the Outcome of COVID-19\u2014A Meta Analysis and Systematic Review","volume":"46","author":"Yonas","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am.
