Clinical Trial Summary

Comprehensive Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Feasibility After Stroke (CCR FAST) will evaluate the feasibility of enrolling Regions Hospital stroke patients in a Comprehensive Cardiovascular Rehabilitation (CCR) program. CCR will include aerobic exercise and patient education (regarding risk factors and medication compliance), similar to the rehabilitation program for cardiac disease patients. The overall goal of CCR FAST is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of including stroke patients in a CCR program, while examining the clinical value in reducing stroke recurrence, myocardial infarction, readmission, and mortality in stroke patients.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age = 18 years
• Patient has suffered an ischemic stroke
