Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Cardiorespiratory fitness

    Will be assessed during a symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test using an individualized gradual incremental ramp test designed to obtain oxygen consumption (VO2max).

    Baseline, 6 months and 12 months.

  • Functional capacity

    Will be assessed by the six-minute walk test (6MWT)

    Baseline, 6 months and 12 months.

  • Health Related Quality of Life

    Will be evaluated with the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). This questionnaire has 21 questions, which are answered on a scale of 1 to 5. The score of the questionnaire is obtained by the sum of the answers to the 21 questions, the higher the score, the worse the quality of life.

    Baseline, 6 months and 12 months.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Program adherence and completion

    6 months

  • Concentration of Pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide

    Baseline, 6 months and 12 months.

  • Functioning

    Baseline, 6 months and 12 months.

  • Mortality and Hospital admission

    12 months

  • Upper-body muscle strength

    Baseline, 6 months and 12 months.

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Comprehensive Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation

EXPERIMENTAL

The 24-week Cardiac Rehabilitation intervention will include evaluation, medical and nurse management, aerobic interval training, resistance exercise, psychosocial support, and education. These will initially be delivered in a health center, transitioning to home in 4 stages.

Other: Comprehensive Initial AssessmentOther: Continuous evaluationOther: Interval ExerciseBehavioral: Psychosocial supportOther: Diet managementOther: Resistance exercise

Exercise and center-based Cardiac Rehabilitation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Cardiac rehabilitation with face-to-face continuous aerobic exercise sessions and resistance exercises.

Other: Resistance exerciseOther: Continuous exerciseOther: Initial Assessment

Interventions

Initial Assessment includes all those necessary to prescribe exercise training, as well as dietary and adherence promotion interventions. * Functional capacity with 6MWT * Assessment of skeletal muscle strength, flexibility, and balance. * Assessment of function * Assessment of dietary habits * Assessment of self-efficacy and barriers to CR adherence. * Screening for depression.

Comprehensive Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation

Evaluations during the course of the program will be carried out to inform the progression through the CR stages, the intensity of training and education needs.

Comprehensive Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation

High-intensity interval training prescribed by physical therapist: * According to an adapted Wisloff protocol. * Borg scale to monitor intensity. * Training 3 times per week.

Comprehensive Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation

Based on social-cognitive theory, with self-efficacy as a focus: * Face-to-face sessions in the first stage of the program: Education, self-monitoring and motivational interview. * Face-to-face session in the second stage of the program: promoting behavior changes by self-control and self-monitoring * Regular communication with patients will be supported by the use of mobile devices during the third and fourth stages of program.

Comprehensive Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation

A dietary plan supported by a nutritionist will be made together with the patient.

Comprehensive Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation

Resistance exercises: * With TheraBand. * Intensity according to the perceived exertion scale * Twice a week.

Comprehensive Hybrid Cardiac RehabilitationExercise and center-based Cardiac Rehabilitation

Moderate-intensity continuous exercise prescribed by physical therapist : * The intensity will be moderate, as tolerated * Borg scale to monitor intensity. * Frequency of training of 1 to 3 times per week, until completed 20 sessions in 10-12 weeks.

Exercise and center-based Cardiac Rehabilitation

Includes all those necessary to plan exercise training, as usual: * Functional capacity with 6MWT. * Assessment of skeletal muscle strength.
