Clinical Trial Summary

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity all over the world. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a crucial part of secondary prevention and optimal care of patients with ACS. However, the participation rate in CR after ACS is far from expected. In our study, we will aim to examine the rate of participation in cardiac rehabilitation and the factors affecting it in patients followed up for acute coronary syndrome in the coronary intensive care unit of our hospital. Our main hypothesis is that the lower rate of participation in cardiac rehabilitation in patients with acute coronary syndrome is associated with one or more of that older age, female gender, multimorbidity, poor functional capacity, lower health literacy level or quality of life levels.


Clinical Trial Description

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is an umbrella term comprising unstable angina, myocardial infarction (MI) with or without ST-segment elevation, and sudden cardiac death because of acute myocardial ischemia. ACS is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity all over the world. Today, cardiac rehabilitation has become an integral part of the medical care and secondary prevention programs of cardiovascular diseases including ACS. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a long-term comprehensive rehabilitation program that includes but not limited to patient evaluation, determination of risk profile, patient-tailored exercise training, and behavioural and lifestyle changes aiming at risk reduction in cooperation with many disciplines. It consists of comprehensive interventions. Despite its known benefits and recommended in national and international guidelines, the participation rate in cardiac rehabilitation is lower than expected. Studies involving different countries and societies showed that lower participation was associated with inadequate referral, female gender, poor motivation, older age, comorbidities, difficulty in transportation, and poor socioeconomic status. It has been suggested that setting up a CR appointment before discharge via clinical visits by the CR team or automatic referral systems, increasing patient interest and knowledge through written invitations and brochures, and providing support for transportation may increase participation in CR. In our country, there are not enough studies addressing the success of participation and compliance in cardiac rehabilitation. In this study, we aim to determine patient related factors associated with low participation in CR in patients admitted to our coronary intensive care unit (ICU) with ACS diagnosis. All patients included in this study will be comprehensively informed about CR and the initial CR session will be scheduled to minimize effect of inadequate referral. ;
