Although clinical data demonstrate advantages of combining complete revascularization with optimal cardiac rehabilitation (OCR) less than one-third of patients in European countries participate in cardiac rehabilitation programs.~In addition, the major limitations of current CR programs are their short duration without long-term follow-up, lack of appropriate clinical and functional monitoring, and structural problems including geographic misdistribution of available programs. Therefore, in cooperation with Polish leaders in cardiovascular medicine, rehabilitation and medical software design we aim to introduce and evaluate the system of optimal cardiac telerehabilitation in addition to optimal treatment of coronary artery disease. Primarily, the telerehabilitation system will be designed and developed. Secondly, coordinating center will be build and technical tests will be performed in order to evaluate its integrity with telerehabilitation system. Thirdly, the whole system will be validated in clinical settings on patients' population with coronary artery disease and completed revascularization. Finally, procedural steps will be executed in order to prepare the whole system of optimal cardiac telerehabilitation for implementation.
