High-intensity Interval Training in Patients With Post-acute Coronary Syndrome

NCT03414996 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2022-09-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To date, no studies have evaluated the safety or efficiency (improvement of maximal oxygen uptake \[VO2peak\]) of a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program in post-acute coronary syndrome (post-ACS) patients. Heart rate variability (HRV) and recovery (HRR), QT dispersion (QTd) and ventricular arrhythmias are all indices associated with an increased risk of cardiac death. HIIT has been shown to improve these risk markers and be safe in coronary heart disease patients but not yet in post-ACS patients which are considered more at risks.

The aim of this study was to compare a HIIT program to a moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MICET) program on HRV, HRR, QTd parameters and occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias in post-ACS patients.
