Conflict of interest statement

Competing interests: We have read and understood the BMJ policy on declaration of interests and declare the following interests. HMD and PD have also co-authored Cochrane reviews in cardiac rehabilitation with RST. RST is an author on a number of other Cochrane reviews of cardiac rehabilitation. HMD, RST, PD, and KP were co-investigators on the REACH-HF programme of research, which developed and evaluated a home based cardiac rehabilitation intervention for people with heart failure and their carers (NIHR PGfAR RP-PG-0611-12004). South West Academic Health Sciences Network COVID-19 Innovation Adoption Fund provided several two day REACH-HF online facilitator training sessions over summer 2020 (1 May-31 December 2020). British Heart Foundation Hope for Hearts Funding for Digital Rehabilitation Enablement in Chronic Heart Failure (D REACH-HF) (1 July 2020–31/12 /2021). Implementation of an evidence based cardiac rehabilitation home programme for heart failure patients and their care givers in Scotland (SCOT: REACH-HF Project), Heart Research UK, Scotland (1 March 2020-31 August 2021).
