An interventional study of Cardiac rehabilitation and Cardiac rehabilitation in Coronary Heart Disease, sponsored by Basque Health Service. Status unknown at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-03-30.

The hypothesis is that home based clinical rehabilitation (CR) is less expensive than hospital based CR with similar clinical effectiveness. The investigators will compare the results of two forms of CR on
The main reasons for patients not to participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program that usually develops by group in the hospital or in a gym, are problems of access to hospital, disgust for participating in a group activity and problems in reconciling their work and / or home with the program schedule. These problems could be overcome by outcome cardiac rehabilitation and thus could increase the number of patients benefit from treatment in either the environment extra or intra-hospital.
Low and medium coronary patients sent to cardiac rehabilitation program at our center within the first 12 weeks after presenting with acute coronary syndrome or been revascularized will be included in the study. The prescription of intensity of effort is based on heart rate reached during the stress test for the initial evaluation in all cases, although at home-program heart rate will be monitored using heart rate monitor and / or by the Borg scale. In this way outpatient group patient could performed training sessions individually and at the time of day that best suits their capabilities. The other program components: control of risk factors, health education and counseling will be identical in both groups of patients.
3,639 studies on the registry are indexed under Heart Diseases; 461 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 138 is above the median of 100 across 1,778 interventional studies indexed under Heart Diseases.

Exclusion Criteria:
The patients will perform physical training sessions in the hospital
Behavioral: Cardiac rehabilitation
The patients will perform physical training sessions at home
Behavioral: Cardiac rehabilitation
* Training sessions: 8 weeks of supervised physical training sessions. Stress intensity will be calculated from the peak heart rate reached during stress test: 60-70% during the first month and 70-85% during the second one. Patients will be advised to do at least 1 hour of outdoor exercise with the same intensity on the days when they do not attend hospital. * Health education sessions and relaxation sessions: one per week. * Smoking and diet checking: as recommended by doctor.
The only difference in the hospital's program is that training sessions will be out of hospital with the same target heart rate that in this case will be controlled with pulsometer or Borg scale. The recommended frequency of sessions will be: at least 5 days a week with a minimum of 1 hour / day.
