Effect of Exercise Training in Coronary Artery Disease Patients After Stenting

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Stent Restenosis
Interventions
Other: Structured In-patient and Home plan
Other: Conventional Therapy
Registration Number
NCT05315193
Lead Sponsor
Riphah International University
Brief Summary

To determine the effects of exercise training on ankle-brachial index and Quality of Life in coronary artery disease patients after stenting. There is a need to develop strategies, not only to prevent restenosis but also to improve patients' functional status and perception of well-being. In particular, it is not well defined whether exercise training can reduce the restenosis rate and improve the outcome after percutaneous intervention (PCI), and its effects on the Ankle-brachial index are not yet well known.

Detailed Description

The existence of PAD in patients with Coronary artery disease (CAD) remarkably increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Almost half of the patients, after an initial encouraging improvement in functional capacity and quality of life (QOL) after the PCI, deal with recurrent chest pain that requires medical attention, reduces functional capacity, and creates a status of psychological distress.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Ankle-brachial index12 weeks

Changes From the Baseline,6th week and 12 weeks, measured through the ratio of the systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured at the ankle to that measured at the brachial artery to detect Peripheral Artery Disease. Normal Ankle-brachial index ranges from 1.0 to 1.4.

Quality of life index cardiac version -IV12 weeks

Changes From the Baseline, 6th week and 12 weeks measured through Quality of life index cardiac version -IV. It consists of 70 items. Each item used a six-point Likert rating scale. Scores calculated for overall quality of life in four domains: health and functioning (15 items), social and economic (8 items), psychological/spiritual (7 items), and family (5 items). High scores indicated a better quality of life.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Forced vital Capacity (FVC)12 weeks

Changes From the Baseline,6th week and 12 weeks, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced vital Capacity in Liters

Dyspnea3-5 days

Changes From the Baseline, measured through Rose Dyspnea Scale. The scale consists of four items, with scores ranging from 0 to 4, where 0 indicates no dyspnea with activity, and increasing scores indicate greater limitations because of dyspnea.

Rate of perceived exertion (RPE)12 weeks

Changes From the Baseline,6th week and 12 weeks, measured through Borg RPE scale which measures a person's perception of their effort and exertion breathlessness, and fatigue during physical work rating between 6 and 20. The higher the number, the more intense the exercise. An RPE of 6 is often referred to as just above rest, hardly any exertion, while an RPE of 20 is a maximal effort.

Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)12 weeks

Changes from the Baseline,6th week and 12 weeks, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second FEV1 in Liters
