Summary

Cardiac rehabilitation is a program designed to help patients regain good health through lifestyle change after a heart attack, heart surgery or other heart problems. Patients will take part in exercise sessions and education lessons, tailored to meet their personal needs. The exercise training component of cardiac rehabilitation may be delivered as intervals of short intense sessions (also known as high intensity intervals) or the current standard care of longer but less intense sessions (moderate intense intervals). Both exercises have been shown to increase fitness levels and also prevent future risk of heart disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of high intensity interval exercise training (HIIT) in patients who had a recent cardiac revascularization procedure or recovering from a heart attack, in comparison to current standard of moderate intensity exercise training in terms of their physical fitness and psychological well-being.
