Cardiac Event Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program on Active Participation in the Community and Exercise Habits Six Months After a Coronary Event
The aim of this study is to examine the contribution of a cardiac rehabilitation program on
the active participation in daily life six months after an acute coronary event.
100 patients will be recruited for the study, 3-10 months after a myocardial infarction and
hospitalization in the Emek Medical Center in Afula, Israel.
50 patients recruited for the study who had participated in cardiac rehabilitation will be
the experimental group. 50 patients who have not participated in rehabilitation- will be the
control group. The groups will be matched for diagnosis, sex and age. Sociodemographic data
on patients will be taken from the medical records of the cardiology department and the
Cardiac Rehabilitation Institute of the Emek Medical Center..
Course of study: Participants will sign an informed consent form and fill out questionnaires
that evaluate active participation in the community. In addition, the physical function and
muscle strength of the participants will be evaluated with designated tests. The duration of
each meeting will be 60 minutes.
HYPOTHESES
1. Patients who participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program will exhibit higher indices
of participation in the community than patients who do not participate.
2. Patients who participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program will display higher levels
of physical activity when compared with patients who do not participate.
Cardiac rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary framework which focuses on improving the
functioning of heart disease patients to facilitate and optimize the return to a regular
routine as early as possible. The rehabilitation program provides the tools for the
maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, encouraging participants to take part in recreational
activities and includes extending their daily functioning. (IADL- Instrumental Activities of
Daily Living). A sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for heart disease. Increased
levels of physical activity and an active lifestyle have a beneficial effect on most of the
risk factors for the heart and blood vessels, including lipid profile, blood pressure and
body composition.
In addition to the purely physical component, active participation in managing the household,
returning to work and leisure activities in the community, have a positive impact on the
mental state and contribute to the quality of life of cardiac patients.
Few studies address the return to a normal social life, most focus on the return to work.
Since most cardiac rehabilitation program participants are pensioners, it is important to
examine other aspects of their participation in society and everyday life in order to measure
the effectiveness of a cardiac rehabilitation program.
The setting up of an initial interview and approval in principle to take part in the study
will be arranged with a telephone call to the potential participant and a date will be
determined for the meeting..
The interview will be conducted in the subject's home. The interviewer will make sure that
the participant understands and agrees to the terms of the research. The participant then
will fill in and sign a consent form giving the hospital authorization to use his personal
details and medical data (gender, age, religion, place of residence).
