Outcomes
’ exercise compliance, standardsAdherence, malignant arrhythmia, angina pectoris
CARDIOPULMONARY, EVENTS, HEART FAILURE, RECURRENT MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
The primary outcomes comprised changes in the cardiopulmonary exercise capacity, physiological indicators, and psychological indicators. Secondary outcomes were the patients’ exercise compliance, adverse cardiovascular events, and patient satisfaction with the rehabilitation care during the intervention. Cardiopulmonary exercise capacity, physiological indicators, and psychological indicators were measured before the intervention (baseline) and after three months of intervention. The patients’ exercise compliance, adverse cardiovascular events, and satisfaction with rehabilitation care during the intervention were investigated after three months of the intervention.Cardiorespiratory capacity was measured using a cyclergometer cardiopulmonary exercise testing device (CS-200 Ergo-Spiro; Schiller, Switzerland) in accordance with the relevant cardiorespiratory exercise testing standardsAdherence to rehabilitation exercises and satisfaction with rehabilitation care were assessed by self-administered questionnaires. MACE, namely recurrent myocardial infarction, malignant arrhythmia, heart failure, and angina pectoris, were recorded during the intervention in both groups.
