Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Dec 2023

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aims to 1) develop a strength-building lifestyle-integrated intervention for sarcopenic CAD patients and to 2) examine the feasibility and 3) preliminary effects of this intervention on skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, cardiac-related functional status and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), psychological distress, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) and hospital readmission rates
