Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The data will be collected at the first day of accomodation in the Hospital via Ergospirometry and Echokardiography. Then each Patient will have to perform 7 trainings each second day. The final test will be after 3 weeks via Ergospirometry and Echokardiography. Main Parameter: Vo2peak | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pretest at first day of accomodation: Ecg, Workload, Weight, Bloodpreasure, Vo2 max, oxigensaturation, Puls, Diagnosis Posttest after 3 Weeks: Ecg, Workload, Weight, Bloodpreasure, Vo2 max, oxigensaturation, Puls, Diagnosis | — |
