Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Acute Myocardial Infarction
Interventions
Other: enter the usual care program
Behavioral: entailing an early home-based CR program
Registration Number
NCT02584192
Lead Sponsor
Lin Xu
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of this CR program on the improvement of myocardial function using the three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) in AMI patients.

Detailed Description

The effect of early short-term home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program on left ventricular function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients is not clear yet.
