Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) provides multidisciplinary management in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. In 2020, the public health during the COVID-19 pandemic was a primary concern, and there were no clear recommendations on how to practice phase II CR. This case report has described the implementation of alternative CR in remotely guided telerehabilitation. The patient was monitored remotely for 12 weeks, followed by a one-year follow-up. Time series were evaluated with a comparison of cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition. The remotely guided CR and long-term observation results led to an expected significant improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness of 12.7%. Our case study indicates how to provide alternative CR when exercise stress testing and direct supervision are not available.
