Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Physical Inactivity; Coronary Artery Disease
• Interventions: Other: Physiotherapist supervised exercise training; Other: Physical activity recommendations; Other: Exercise training via phone app

• Registration Number: NCT05264701
• Lead Sponsor: Hacettepe University

Brief Summary

This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of technology-based and traditional cardiac rehabilitation programs in individuals with coronary artery disease.

Detailed Description

Cardiovascular diseases constitute one of the most critical health problems of today's society due to the loss of workforce, morbidity, mortality, and high hospital expenses.

This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of technology-based and traditional cardiac rehabilitation programs in individuals with coronary artery disease.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Physiotherapist Supervised Exercise Training Group	Physiotherapist supervised exercise training	Physiotherapist supervised exercise training in patients with coronary artery disease
Control Group	Physical activity recommendations	General physical activity recommendations for home
Exercise Training Tracking from Phone-app Group	Exercise training via phone app	Exercise training tracking from phone app in patients with coronary artery disease

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Exercise Capacity	Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks	Exercise capacity will be evaluated using the incremental shuttle walk test.
Participation	after 12 weeks	Participation will be evaluated using the number of sessions attended.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Healthy Living Habit Evaluation	Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks	Healthy living habit evaluation will be evaluated using the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II.
Health-Related Quality of Life	Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks	Health-Related Quality of Life will be evaluated using the Myocardial Infarction Dimensional Assessment Scale (MIDAS).
Peripheral muscle strength	Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks	Peripheral muscle strength will be evaluated using the dynamometer.
Maximal Effort Capacity	Baseline	Maximal effort capacity will be evaluated using a cardiovascular stress test.
Endothelial function	Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks	The endothelial function will be evaluated using echocardiography. After a resting baseline, Brachial artery diameter will be recorded, the cuff used in blood pressure measurement will be inflated 25-50 mmHg above the systolic blood pressure value and maintain that pressure for 5 min. The brachial artery diameter will be measured again after the cuff is deflated.
QoL	Baseline, after 12 weeks, after 24 weeks	Quality of life will be evaluated using the SF-36 Short Form.
