Overview
Brief Summary
Outcomes evaluation is a critical component in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to examine factors who predict long-term effects of improved peak oxygen uptake one year after participating in cardiac rehabilitation.
Secondary to evaluate the short and long-term outcome of a 12-week outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program.
Detailed Description
A prospective cohort study including all cardiac patients referred for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation in a primary care clinic in Oslo. The main efficacy variable is the changes in exercise capacity (VO2peak) as a primary prognostic measure of successful rehabilitation. HRQoL are measured by self-report using the COOP/WONCA questionnaire and SF-36.
