Abstract
The implementation of a remote cardiac rehabilitation service to educate pe ople about heart disease is currently under way in northern Alberta. Twenty per cent of patients in the catchment area live in remote areas outside th e regional centre and are faced with the usual difficulties of attending ur ban health-care programmes. The availability of the remote cardiac rehabili tation service enables patients to receive the same rehabilitation benefits as their urban counterparts.
