About this study

After an acute coronary syndrome, an adapted cardiac rehabilitation program is necessary to restore or increase physical capacities and decrease cardiovascular risk. This multidisciplinary care combines physical training sessions and therapeutic education workshops.

The COVID-19 pandemic imposed restrictions such as the closure of rehabilitation centres. To remedy this problem, one solution was to adapt the existing program to a remote cardiac telerehabilitation, i.e., medical and paramedical supervision of rehabilitation sessions and therapeutic patient education meetings via digital tools. Recent studies have shown that it was a safe (no reported adverse effects), effective (similar gains in peak oxygen consumption compared to traditional cardiac rehabilitation and patient-adherence alternative.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis of this study is that telerehabilitation was more effective on cardiorespiratory functions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from Baseline oxygen (VO2) (ml/min/kg) at the first ventilatory threshold (VT1) at 2 months

    Variation of oxygen (VO2) (ml/min/kg) at the first ventilatory threshold (VT1) during a cardio-pulmonary exercise test (CPET) before and after 15 training sessions performed

    Measured: Months: 0, 2

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. oxygen (VO2) peak

    Variation of oxygen (VO2) peak before and after 15 training sessions performed

    Measured: Months: 0, 2

  2. maximum power workload

    Variation of maximum power workload before and after 15 training sessions performed

    Measured: Months: 0, 2

  3. power at the first ventilatory threshold (VT1)

    Variation of power at the first ventilatory threshold (VT1) before and after 15 training sessions performed

    Measured: Months: 0, 2

  4. maximum heart rate

    Variation of maximum heart rate before and after 15 training sessions performed.

    Measured: Months: 0, 2

  5. recovery heart rate

    Variation of recovery heart rate before and after 15 training sessions performed.

    Measured: Months: 0, 2

  6. obstructive ventilatory disorder

    Variation of obstructive ventilatory disorder before and after 15 training sessions performed.

    Measured: Months: 0, 2

  7. autonomic nervous system

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 3 Mar 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 France. 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. 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 oxygen (VO2) (ml/min/kg) at the first ventilatory threshold (VT1) at 2 months (time frame: Months: 0, 2). 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 3 Mar 2023.
