Exercise Training Adherence After Cardiac Rehabilitation in Coronary Heart Disease Patients

NCT01246570 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 48

Last updated 2014-09-25

No results posted yet for this study

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.
