      Cardiovascular Outcomes of Patients Referred to Home Based Cardiac Rehabilitation.
      was reviewed with great pleasure. This article was enlightening and purposeful; we feel fortunate to have read it. We concede in the critical epilogue that Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation (HBCR) is a viable alternative that can improve access to CR for patients who are not candidates for CBCR or are unable to attend. Randomized controlled trials are necessary to verify these results. However, we are aware of the study's limitations and believe that alternative approaches could improve and strengthen the study's findings.
