Study summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility, efficacy, and adherence of home-based cardiac rehabilitation with the integration of telemedicine. Several components will be assessed such as quality-of-life, nutritional counseling, maximum metabolic activity (MET's), diabetic management, tobacco cessation, lipid, blood pressure, and psychosocial management. These tasks will be accomplished through concurrent conversations between patients and their therapist's utilizing telemedicine with observed exercise training.

Read the detailed description

The focus of this study is to determine the feasibility, efficacy, and adherence of home-based cardiac rehabilitation with the integration of telemedicine. The study consists of an initial review, rehabilitation sessions, nutrition consultation, and risk stratification. Once the patient is cleared for the rehabilitation program, they will be assigned a cardiac rehab specialist and begin the 36 rehabilitation sessions. The sessions include pre-session questions, surveys, pre-, during, and post vitals, exercise protocol, and off-the-device exercises.

Study population

Adult patients who have undergone surgical or percutaneous coronary revascularization due to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Over the age of 18
  2. Functional Class I, II,
  3. Recent (within 60 days) status post coronary artery revascularization for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary revascularization with stent implantation)
  4. Candidate for traditional center-based cardiac rehabilitation

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Under the age of 18
  2. Adults lacking capacity to consent.
  3. Functional Class III, IV
  4. Acute coronary syndrome
  5. Systolic heart failure (LV EF \<40%)
  6. Status post cardiac surgery for structural heart disease or heart transplant
  7. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty
  8. Adults lacking capacity to consent.
  9. Pregnant women
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Session attended

    Measure the number of sessions attended to determine the ease of patients to utilize home-based cardiac rehab integrated with telemedicine (non-inferiority to historical controls)

    Time frame: 12 weeks (End of treatment)

  2. Sessions completed

    Measure the number of sessions completed to determine compliance of patients to utilize home-based cardiac rehab integrated with telemedicine

    Time frame: 12 weeks(End of treatment)

  3. Duke Activity Status Index (DASI)

    Estimate of functional capacity

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks (End of Treatment)

  4. Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ)

    Quality of Life assessment

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks (End of Treatment)

  5. Short Physical Performance Battery

    Lower extremity functional assessment

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks (End of Treatment)

  6. Short Form-36

    Quality of Life assessment

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks (End of Treatment)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Laboratory assessment

    To determine if there is an improvement in low density lipoprotein, triglycerides,

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2025, 28 months after the start.

Of 37 industry-sponsored observational studies under Myocardial Infarction, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 32. This study's planned 28 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 333 studies reached it within 48 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 114.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 24, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
