The review also explores the limitations and gaps in the literature, highlighting the need for future research to optimize CTR approaches. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed and Scopus, focusing on specific keywords. The search yielded fifteen randomized controlled trials. Data from these studies were analyzed to evaluate the methodology, interventions, patient characteristics, and outcomes related to the use of CTR in managing cardiovascular risk factors and improving physical fitness. The included studies demonstrated that CTR interventions, delivered via online platforms, phone calls, and smart devices, were effective in improving cardiovascular risk factors, physical activity levels, and overall patient satisfaction. CTR appears to be associated with improvements in exercise tolerance, VO2 max, body composition, and adherence. While the outcomes were promising, there is still limited evidence regarding the long-term impact of CTR on cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle interventions, particularly in non-exercise components like dietary management and psychological support. Cardiac telerehabilitation presents a feasible and effective alternative to traditional in-hospital rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from myocardial infarction. The integration of e-learning platforms and smart devices enhances patient adherence, improves cardiovascular risk factors, and increases access to rehabilitation services, particularly for those who face barriers to traditional care. However, further large-scale studies are needed to establish standardized protocols and best practices for CTR. Additionally, future research should address disparities in access to digital health technologies, especially among rural and underserved populations, to ensure equitable access to these innovative approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina61040635","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,31]],"date-time":"2025-03-31T05:21:04Z","timestamp":1743398464000},"page":"635","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Cardiac Telerehabilitation After Heart Attack Using E-Learning Platforms and Monitoring Cardiovascular Risk Factors: A Narrative Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Drago\u0219","family":"Trache","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bagdasar-Arseni Clinical Emergency Hospital, 041915 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5081-2478","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liviu Ionu\u021b","family":"\u0218erb\u0103noiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bagdasar-Arseni Clinical Emergency Hospital, 041915 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Cardio-Thoracic Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3361-2167","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mircea Ioan Alexandru","family":"Bistriceanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5355-0482","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel","family":"Olteanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bagdasar-Arseni Clinical Emergency Hospital, 041915 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9053-0018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Octavian","family":"Andronic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Innovation and eHealth Center, \u201cCarol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy\u201d Bucharest, Strada Pitar Mo\u0219 20, 030167 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liviu","family":"C\u0103lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bagdasar-Arseni Clinical Emergency Hospital, 041915 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Cardio-Thoracic Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4678-9655","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0218tefan-Sebastian","family":"Busnatu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bagdasar-Arseni Clinical Emergency Hospital, 041915 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Cardio-Thoracic Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Salari, N., Morddarvanjoghi, F., Abdolmaleki, A., Rasoulpoor, S., Khaleghi, A.A., Hezarkhani, L.A., Shohaimi, S., and Mohammadi, M.
