About this study

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of this CR program on the improvement of myocardial function using the three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) in AMI patients.

Read the detailed description

The effect of early short-term home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program on left ventricular function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients is not clear yet.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • entailing an early home-based CR programBehavioural

    enter the early outpatient phase of CR program. The progressive exercise training of this phase was performed without supervision after their discharge. The CR program consisted of a five-minute warm-up period (stretching), a twenty-minute aerobic exercise (walking or trotting, gymnastics), and a five-minute cooling-down period (stretching)

  • enter the usual care programOther

    enter the usual care program, including the importance of carrying out physical activity, which was performed during inpatient care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing entailing an early home-based CR program in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Lin Xu.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

myocardial function using the three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) (time frame: Change from baseline strain parameters at four-week follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02584192, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2015.
