NCT02795936

Brief Summary

This is a study to find out whether cardiac rehabilitation is feasible in Western Kenya. This study will test whether cardiac rehabilitation is feasible by measuring how many participants are able to follow and complete two different exercise protocols; one at home and one in hospital. It will also measure how the exercise intervention affects quality of living, depression and improvement in exercise tolerance.
