About this study

Home-based rehabilitation programs have not been widely few been studied and the training effects are not unclear. This study evaluates the beneficial effects of home-based cardiac rehabilitation on quality of medical care in patients with chronic heart failure.

Read the detailed description

cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs are safe and effective for improving functional capacity, quality of life, as well as for reducing in the re-admission rate and all-cause mortality of patients with heart failure.clinical trials that have established the benefits of hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation for patients with chronic heart failure. Home-based cardiac rehabilitation could be more accessible and acceptable compared with hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Home-based cardiac rehabilitation in people with Heart Failure With or Without CRT-P/D, run by Taichung Veterans General Hospital.

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 1 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 10 Oct 2016. 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?

Change from Baseline peak oxygen uptake (ml /kg/min) at 3 months (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02928783, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 10 Oct 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
