研究概览
简要总结
Other than optimizing medical management of cardiac risk factors, and reducing radiotherapy (RT) dose to the heart, there currently exist no interventions to mitigate or reverse the adverse cardiac effects of RT. Aerobic exercise has been demonstrated to improve patient quality of life, cardiac outcomes, and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with cancer receiving cardiotoxic systemic therapies, but the effects of aerobic exercise on patients at high risk for radiation induced heart disease (RIHD) is unknown. In addition, home-based cardiac rehabilitation has not been tested in patients with thoracic cancers.

研究组 & 干预措施
Home-based cardiac rehabilitation
-
The intervention consists of a prescribed course of home-based cardiac rehabilitation: 36 sessions, three times a week, one hour each, over a period of 12 weeks.
-
Each customized exercise session includes three phases:
-
a 5- to 10-minute warm-up which consists of stretching, flexibility movements, and aerobic activity which gradually raises the heart rate to the desired level
-
a conditioning or training phase, which consists of 20 to 45 minutes of continuous or discontinuous aerobic activity
-
a cool down for 5 to 10 minutes consisting of low-intensity exercise that permits a gradual recovery from the conditioning phase
-
The patient will complete a brief questionnaire on the teleHeart application after completing each exercise session on how well they tolerated the exercise. The patient's CR team will receive daily updates from the patient's teleHeart application. Based on feedback from the application, the CR team may modify the patient's exercise program going forward.
干预措施: Home-based cardiac rehabilitation (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility of completing home-based CR after definitive radiation therapy in patients with thoracic cancer who have started the CR program
时间窗: Through completion of cardiac rehabilitation for all patients enrolled (estimated to be 36 months)
Feasibility of completion is defined as 75% of patients who start their first session of cardiac rehabilitation participating in at least 75% of prescribed home-based CR exercise sessions.
次要结局
- Feasibility of home-based cardiac rehabiliation in all enrolled patients after definitive radiation therapy in patients with thoracic cancer.(Through completion of cardiac rehabilitation for all patients enrolled (estimated to be 36 months))
