Feasibility of cardiac rehabilitation in patients who have undergone stent insertion

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Subsequent ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site,
Registration Number
CTRI/2018/07/014713
Lead Sponsor
Kasturba Hospital
Brief Summary

- National data from a global survey of ICCPR identified cardiac rehabilitation density to be a median of 18. Of which India was found to be 360, ranking 85 out of 111 countries that participated in the global survey. **[Turk-Adwai K, Supervia M, Lopez-**Jimines **F et al. Global cardiac rehabilitation availability, volumes, capacity** and **density. Lancet 2018 (under review)].** This shows the under-utilization of cardiac rehabilitation in India. With the growing burden of cardiovascular diseases and cardiac rehabilitation being the class IA recommendation, various cardiac rehabilitation models, especially for low resource settings, have been proposed. Thus, this study aims to test the feasibility of a cardiac rehabilitation algorithm based on feasibility metrics. Feasibility ensures effective implementation, of which studies are lacking. Cardiac rehabilitation algorithm shall be given to 30 patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention. This includes early phase exercises followed by a home exercise program with weekly progression and telephonic follow-up. The feasibility shall be tested based on process metrics, resource metrics, management metrics and scientific metrics. Based on pre-defined criteria, the conclusion on the feasibility of the algorithm will be drawn
