Exercise Training Adherence After Cardiac Rehabilitation in Coronary Heart Disease Patients

NCT01246570 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Adherence
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 48

Brief Summary

It is known that organized cardiac rehabilitation is effective in improving exercise capacity in coronary heart disease patients. Less is known about the long-term results after cardiac rehabilitation. Earlier studies have shown that many patients quit exercising when no longer attending formal rehabilitation. The investigators wish to investigate the effect of a maintenance program after ending a rehabilitation program, and to compare this to usual care. The investigators hypothesis is that the maintenance program will result in higher exercise capacity and more physical activity compared to usual care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Peak oxygen uptake

  The change in peak oxygen uptake from baseline to 12 months after baseline. In the intervention group, the peak oxygen uptake will be measured also every 3 months during the intervention period, and this will be reported

  baseline and 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Myocardial infarction

  baseline and 12 months

• Hospital readmission

  baseline and 12 months

• Death

  baseline and 12 months

• Endothelial function

  baseline and 12 months

• Quality of life

  baseline and 12 months

Study Arms (2)

Maintenance program

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will attend a "motivational exercise session" once monthly. They will also be tested (exercise test with measurement of peak oxygen uptake) every third months.

Behavioral: Exercise training

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Usual care. The patients will receive the usual care provided by the hospital and community health services

Other: Control

Interventions

Exercise training BEHAVIORAL

The patients will meet for organized exercise training once monthly and also exercise testing every third month.

Maintenance program

Control OTHER

The patients will receive the usual care provided by the hospitals and the community health services
