Virtual cardiac rehabilitation (VCR) offers an alternate mechanism of care delivery, capable of providing similar patient outcomes and safety profiles compared to centre-based programs. In an effort to mitigate concerns related to the closure of CBCR programs during the pandemic, virtual CR (VCR) offers an alternate mechanism to CBCR, capable of delivering similar patient outcomes and safety profiles for low to moderate risk cardiac patients. Conversely, for centres where some home-based/virtual programs are already available, the conversion of all CR participation to VCR brings new challenges, largely around greater resource requirements, the risk-stratification process, and exercise delivery. During the initial implementation phases of VCR, centres face possible CR staff redeployment due to COVID-19 related issues, a potential lack of centre and patient experience with virtual care delivery, and uncertain access to affordable, effective technologies.	./cache/cord-330792-dxdpn46t.txt	./txt/cord-330792-dxdpn46t.txt
