Cardiac Rehabilitation After Pacemaker Implantation

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Bradycardia
Pacemaker
Interventions
Behavioral: cardiac rehabilitation
Registration Number
NCT05015075
Lead Sponsor
Pusan National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The investigators assessed whether short-term cardiac rehabilitation following pacemaker implantation was enough to improve both physical function and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, few data exist regarding the role of early short-term CR in patients undergoing pacemaker (PM) implantation. The investigators assessed whether short-term CR following PM implantation was enough to improve both physical function and quality of life (QOL).
