Study Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if newly developed, culturally adapted educational videos-sent through a mobile messaging app-can help people with coronary heart disease do better in a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program in Malaysia.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Do the educational videos help participants improve their fitness?
  • Do the videos help participants better understand heart health and stick to a healthy lifestyle?

Researchers will compare the educational videos to existing standard educational materials to see if the video-based education is more helpful for supporting rehabilitation at home.

Participants will:

  • Take part in a 12-week home-based cardiac rehabilitation program
  • Receive either educational videos or standard education materials
  • Meet with the cardiac rehabilitation team every 4 weeks
  • Complete a treadmill exercise test, blood tests, and questionnaires before and after the program.
