Overview
Brief Summary
The study aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive status, exercise capacity, and fatigue perception in coronary artery disease patients.
Detailed Description
Exercise training for patients with coronary artery disease is an essential element of multicomponent cardiac rehabilitation. For the successful implementation of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programs, adequate cognitive function (e.g. executive function, selective attention, memory) is an important prerequisite. In patients with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, the presence of coronary microvascular dysfunction as determined by low coronary flow reserve is associated with abnormal cerebral flow hemodynamics and mild but significant impairment in cognitive function. In the literature, there is no study examining the relationship between cognitive level and fatigue perception.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Cognitive State Assessment
Time Frame: August 2023-August 2024
Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) will be used to assess cognitive status.
Assessment of Perceived Fatigue Severity After Exercise Test
Time Frame: August 2023-August 2024
It will be evaluated on the Modified Borg Scale from 0 to 10. 0 means no fatigue. 10 means extremely tired.
Assessment of Exercise Capacity
Time Frame: August 2023-August 2024
Exercise capacity will be evaluated with modified shuttle walking test.
Secondary Outcomes
- Physical Activity Assessment(August 2023-August 2024)
