Hacettepe University52 enrolled

Overview

This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of technology-based and traditional cardiac rehabilitation programs in individuals with coronary artery disease.

Cardiovascular diseases constitute one of the most critical health problems of today's society due to the loss of workforce, morbidity, mortality, and high hospital expenses. This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of technology-based and traditional cardiac rehabilitation programs in individuals with coronary artery disease.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Exercise Capacity

Exercise capacity will be evaluated using the incremental shuttle walk test.

Time frame: Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks

Participation

Participation will be evaluated using the number of sessions attended.

Time frame: after 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Maximal Effort Capacity

Maximal effort capacity will be evaluated using a cardiovascular stress test.

Time frame: Baseline

Peripheral muscle strength

Peripheral muscle strength will be evaluated using the dynamometer.

Time frame: Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks

Endothelial function

The endothelial function will be evaluated using echocardiography. After a resting baseline, Brachial artery diameter will be recorded, the cuff used in blood pressure measurement will be inflated 25-50 mmHg above the systolic blood pressure value and maintain that pressure for 5 min. The brachial artery diameter will be measured again after the cuff is deflated.

Time frame: Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks

Healthy Living Habit Evaluation

Healthy living habit evaluation will be evaluated using the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II.

Time frame: Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks

Health-Related Quality of Life

Health-Related Quality of Life will be evaluated using the Myocardial Infarction Dimensional Assessment Scale (MIDAS).
