About this study

Official title: Effects of Nutrition Education in Cardiac Rehabilitation Patients; a 3-arm Randomized Controlled Trial

Coronary heart disease is one of the United Kingdom's biggest killers. In the UK alone 175,000 myocardial infarctions are recorded annually. To lower the financial burden on the National Health Service, cardiac rehabilitation facilitates a systematic and multidisciplinary approach to secondary prevention aimed to improve functional capacity and health-related quality of life, lower rehospitalisation rates and reduce all-cause and cardiovascular mortality with exercise training being the cornerstones. The effectiveness of

Cardiac rehabilitation programmes in delivering effective secondary prevention has long been established. Improvements are recorded in cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, balance, co-ordination, and quality of life. However, many patients see little or no change in body mass and body mass index, an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. Interestingly, the inclusion of nutrition education is rarely reported within specific Cardiac rehabilitation settings, therefore evidence of best practice remains elusive and warrants further investigation.

The aim of this trial is to compare:

  • Usual care - Where patients access to two exercise classes per week and all facilities normally available as part of their cardiac rehabilitation programme. Patients in this group will undergo this approach for 12-weeks.
  • Usual care + Biggest loser - In addition to Usual care, patients in this group took part in the 'Biggest loser' program in which the patients attended weekly sessions outside of their usual exercise class times. Each session follows a specific theme based on British Heart Foundation healthy eating guidelines. Participants will undergo this approach for 6-weeks and then switch to usual care for 6-weeks.
  • Usual care + New Education programme. In addition to Usual care, the same weekly topics as the biggest loser are covered yet with bespoke information regarding portion sizes and recipes provided each week and patients given a challenge each week in relation to the topic being covered e.g. include more vegetables. Participants will undergo this approach for 6-weeks and then switch to usual care for 6-weeks.

Patients will be tested at baseline, 6-weeks and 12-weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nutrition knowledge in people with Cardiometabolic Syndrome, run by Jonathan Sinclair at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 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 13 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Blood pressure (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 96 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Nov 2023.
