- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The cardiorespiratory parameters ie. blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation, including exercise tolerance capacity for patients are measured at baseline and after 8, 12, 16 and 24 weeks of receiving CR; the measurements are recorded in a data collection form. All health care workers are provided with questionnaires to input challenges encountered during care delivery, and suggest possible solutions. It is hypothesized that; 1. Patients with CHF would have improved cardiac function 2. Patients with CHF would have increased exercise tolerance capacity 3. Cardiac rehabilitation will be established in a more sustainable way at QECH
