Randomized Clinical Trial by Conglomerates on the Efficacy of Maintenance of Physical Exercise in Myocardial Ischemia

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Physical Exercise
Myocardial Ischemia
Registration Number
NCT04251611
Lead Sponsor
Núria Santaularia Capdevila
Brief Summary

Main objective: To assess the efficacy of a phase III cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP), based on counseling in the maintenance of physical exercise (time of physical exercise per week) for patients with myocardial ischemia (MI), once the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of CRP is completed.

Secondary objectives: To assess the efficacy of a phase III program of CRP based on counseling in the maintenance of physical exercise for the patient with MI in: 1) the energy expenditure per week, 2) body mass index and abdominal perimeter, 3) control of cardiovascular risk factors (smoking, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus), 4) quality of life related to health, 5) assess the adherence to cardiac pharmacological treatment.

Method: Randomized clinical trial in conglomerates, open and controlled. The intervention group will carry out phase III of CRP based on counseling in the maintenance of physical exercise. The control group will receive the usual care. The main outcome will be the physical exercise time per week after finish the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of CRP and at 6 and 12 month later according to the 7-day Physical Activity Recall.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The physical exercise minutes performed by the patient per weekAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

The physical exercise minutes performed by the patient per week will be recorded through the 7-day Physical Activity Recall (PAR) questionnaire.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The abdominal circumferenceAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Abdominal circumference is the measurement of the abdomen of the patient at the level of the navel. It will be recorded in centimeters using a tape measure.

Basal plasma glucoseAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Physiological parameter

The quality of life related to health.At 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Level of perception of the patient regarding their state of health. It will be measured through the EuroQol-5D test.

The body mass index (BMI)At 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

BMI is the quotient between the weight (kg) and the square of the height (m). It is usually used for the definition of underweight (BMI \<15.99), normal weight (BMI 18.5 to 24.99), overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg / m2) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg / m2).

The control of smokingAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Smoking:The degree of dependence on tobacco consumption will be recorded through the Fargeström test.

Diastolic blood pressureAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Physiological parameter

Total cholesterolAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Physiological parameter

The energy expenditure by the patient per weekAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

The energy expenditure by the patient per week will be recorded through the 7-day Physical Activity Recall (PAR) questionnaire.

Systolic blood pressureAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Physiological parameter

High-density lipoproteins cholesterolAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Physiological parameter

Low-density lipoproteins cholesterolAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Physiological parameter

TriglyceridesAt 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

Physiological parameter

Assess the adherence to cardiovascular medication.At 12 months of the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of the CRP has been completed.

It will be recorded if the patient is successfully taking the cardiovascular medication through the Haynes-Sackett test.
