Filter by: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.
The whole experiment included one-month APBCRE therapy and two assessments. The one-month APBCRE consisted of twelve exercise sessions, evenly three times per week. At baseline and after rehabilitation, participants underwent one assessment, including car-diopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), resting metabolic rate (RMR) detection, and quality of life questionnaire (QoL). The primary outcomes were exercise capacity measured by function parameters at anaerobic threshold (AT) and other CPET physiological indexes. The secondary endpoints were the RMR level and QoL score.
KiCS1 study : Digital health for current hospital- based Cardiac rehabilitation programmes to increase effectiveness and patient outcomes.
This study was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effect of web-based cardiac rehabilitation support on the healthy lifestyle behaviors, medication adherence and quality of life in coronary heart patients.
This study aims to investigate the effects of cardiac rehabilitation on sleep quality and sleep duration in patients after coronary artery bypass graft.
Behavioral Exposure for Interoceptive Tolerance (BE-FIT) is a mechanism-informed behavioral intervention to target exercise anxiety. The three primary components of BE-FIT include: (1) exposure to feared bodily sensations and exercise; (2) prevention of safety behavior use before/during/after exercise, and (3) use of a wrist-worn activity monitor for physical activity (PA) feedback and activity goal setting. Evidence from the investigators' Stage I trial indicated that BE-FIT is feasible, acceptable, and safe and produced reductions in exercise anxiety and increased exercise outcomes (short-term moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity and steps/day). The investigators' present aim is to conduct a Stage II randomized-controlled trial to further evaluate the efficacy of BE-FIT in decreasing exercise anxiety in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patients and examine whether changes in this target yield successive changes in exercise adherence outcomes.
In Republic of Korea, it is not easy to practice standard pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) or cardiac rehabilitation (CR). In this study, the investigators will provide newly developed smartphone application to patients with chronic respiratory, cardiac, or geriatric diseases. The investigators want to confirm whether participants, who perform smartphone application based 12-week PR or CR program, present improved exercise capacity, dyspnea symptom, muscle strength, or quality of life.
Cardiac rehabilitation is a valuable treatment for patients with a broad spectrum of cardiac disease. Current guidelines support its use in patients after acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary stent placement, valve surgery, and stable chronic systolic heart failure. Its use in these conditions is supported by a robust body of research demonstrating improved clinical outcomes. Despite this evidence, cardiac rehabilitation referral and attendance remains low and interventions to increase its use need to be developed.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes are effective measures to reduce recurrent ischemic events in post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. However, participation rates in CR programmes following myocardial infarction remain low and their long-term effects are uncertain. Home-based CR in combination with novel innovative e-Health applications could overcome barriers to accessibility and participation. Rehab+, a mobile cardiac rehabilitation (mCR) programme co-created with patients and rehabilitation centres, is designed to future-proof CR and to make CR more accessible to patients. Moreover, Rehab+ will be offered for 12 consecutive months after myocardial infarction and could therefore result in greater sustained effects. This prospective, investigator-initiated, multicentre, matched control, observational trial intends to enroll 900 post-ACS patients. Subjects following ACS will be enrolled in the hospital if they meet all the eligibility criteria. Each subject will be able to choose between one of the 2 treatment groups, i.e. 12 months of mCR or 6-8 weeks of traditional centre-based CR. The follow-up for each subject will take 12 months for both groups. The primary objective of this study is to assess whether mCR programme result in better sustained effects on physical, mental and social outcomes in post-ACS patients, as compared to post-ACS patients who follow the traditional CR programme. The main hypothesis is that mCR is expected to result in greater improvement in Quality of Life at 12 months as compared to traditional CR.
This study is a parallel group multicentre investigator-initiated clinical randomised controlled superiority trial that will include a total of 214 survivors of OHCA. Participants will to be randomized with a 1:1 allocation ratio to either a intervention consisting of a comprehensive initiated tailored rehabilitation intervention focusing on supporting RTW plus usual care compared to usual care alone.
