Comparison of Conventional and Tele-cardiac Rehabilitation

Comparison of Center-Based and Tele Cardiac Rehabilitation on Functional Capacity, Quality of Life, and Fear of Activity in Coronary Artery Disease: A Patient-Preferred, Controlled, Prospective Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Sept 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aimed to compare the effects of tele-cardiac rehabilitation (TCR) and hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) on functional capacity (maximum oxygen consumption), fear of activity and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease. CAD). The rehabilitation program included patient-specific aerobic and peripheral muscle strengthening exercises for four weeks and 3 sessions per week. While the HBCR group performed the exercise program under supervision in the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) unit, the TCR group performed the exercise program at home/outdoors using a Polar H9 heart rate monitor and elastic band.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Hospitalization for any cardiac condition within the last 6 weeks prior to enrollment.

Other illness

  • Presence of severe ventricular arrhythmias during low to moderate exercise intensity or a documented history of myocardial ischemia, unstable angina, or abnormal exercise test results during initial evaluation.
  • Classification of heart failure as New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV, indicating severe functional limitations.
  • Diagnosis of untreated malignancy that could affect participation and outcomes.
  • Presence of orthopedic, neurological, or psychiatric disorders that may hinder assessment or engagement in prescribed exercise regimens.

Other

  • Presence of a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator that may interfere with study protocols.
  • Evidence of residual coronary artery stenosis necessitating revascularization procedures.

Who the study is looking for

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Diagnosis of clinically stable coronary artery disease (CAD), defined as stable angina pectoris, a history of myocardial infarction, history of percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
  • Classified as having a low to moderate risk of experiencing a new cardiac event, according to established risk stratification guidelines.
  • Possession of a smartphone and reliable internet access at home to facilitate participation in telehealth interventions.
