NCT00219830 | Withdrawn

• 1 other identifier: COM2376-02-02
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: N/A
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate if a home-based walking program is an acceptable alternative for those who choose not to attend formal cardiac rehabilitation programs and if such a program has an effect on coronary risk or physical fitness.

Conditions

Acute Myocardial Infarction

Keywords

Cardiac Rehabilitation; Walking; Acute Myocardial Infarction; Secondary Prevention

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Quality of Life Score

  MacNew Post-myocardial infarction questionnaire score

  16-20 weeks post myocardial infarction

Study Arms (2)

1 - home-based walking program

EXPERIMENTAL

Based on medical record held in general practice, patients who had not attended a formal cardiac rehabilitation program after myocardial infarction and were enrolled in home-based walking programme

Behavioral: home-based walking program

2 - cardiac rehabilitation

NO INTERVENTION

Based on medical record held in general practice, patients who are identified as having attended a Cardiac Rehabilitation program following myocardial infarction - 'usual care'

Interventions

home-based walking program BEHAVIORAL

Home-based walking program; included use of pedometer and daily walk diary

1 - home-based walking program

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Justification of diagnosis of myocardial infarction by report of cardiac bio-markers or electrocardiogram changes

You may not qualify if:

• Heart failure/ Cardiogenic shock
• Complex ventricular arrhythmias
• Mental/physical impairment (exclude if housebound/dementia)
• Valve disorder-severe stenotic or regurgitant lesion
• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
• Exercise Stress Test result- exclude if ST depression\>=2 mm or angina at \<5 Metabolic Equivalent of Tasks (METS) (e.g. 3 minutes of a Bruce protocol). (Also exclude if report of ST segment depression \>=1 mm on resting ECG )
