Impact of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Patient Outcomes

The Impact of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Functional Capacity, Depression, Quality of Life, and Sleep Quality in Patients With Heart Disease: A Retrospective Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the impact of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on functional capacity, depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, and sleep quality in patients with heart disease. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who participated in a structured CR program. Clinical records were reviewed to compare pre- and post-rehabilitation outcomes. Functional capacity was assessed using the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), while depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, and sleep quality were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Short Form-36 (SF-36), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively.
