Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Acute Myocardial Infarction
Registration Number
NCT02584192

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.
