No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The Researchers are doing this study to find out if the cardiac rehabilitation program can improve measurements of frailty and improve independence, functional abilities, and feelings about health. Frailty can be measured by weakness (as measured by hand grip strength), slowness (as measured by walking speed), low level of physical activity, low energy or self-reported exhaustion, and unintentional weight loss.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Frailty assessment

This assessment consists of a combination of gait speed measurement via infrared sensors as well as a grip strength assessment. Patients will then attend cardiac rehabilitation for an abbreviated six week program.

OTHER

Quality of life assessment

This assessment consists of two questionnaires, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire. Patients will then attend cardiac rehabilitation for an abbreviated six week program.
