Brief summary

In this randomized clinical trial, the researchers are investigating whether a multi-component virtual/hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program will improve functional status, cholesterol level, overall cardiovascular health, individual risk factors, quality of life and mental health for patients who have recently been diagnosed with myocardial infarction, received a coronary stent, underwent heart surgery or catheter-based valve replacement, as compared to traditional, center-based cardiac rehabilitation.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTCorrie Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

The Corrie Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is a multi-component intervention. It consists of the Corrie smartphone app for cardiovascular health optimization which is paired with wristband device (Apple Watch or Fitbit), Bluetooth-enabled Omron blood pressure monitor and exercise resistance bands. The program also includes individualized treatment plan development, setting health goals and communication with trained Corrie Health Coach. Furthermore, the intervention includes motivational text messages sent to participants throughout the study to aid with risk factor modification.

The results of the questions are used to calculate two summary scores: a Global Physical Health Score and a Global Mental Health score. These scores are then standardized to the general population, using the T-Score. The average T-Score for the United States population is 50 points, with a standard deviation of 10 points. Higher scores indicate a healthier patient.

Patient Activation as Assessed by the Patient Activation Measure 10

The difference in patient activation as measured by Patient Activation Measure 10 (PAM 10): The 10-item five-point Likert scale for assessing patient activation at 12 weeks follow up, indicating whether the patient possesses the necessary knowledge, skills, and confidence needed for self-care. The total score reference range is from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater patient activation and ability for self-care.

Time frame: 12 weeks after randomization

Population: Note, as an exploratory outcome, only a subgroup of randomized study participants responded to this survey request.

Stress as Assessed by the Perceived Stress Scale-10

The difference in stress level as measured by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS -10): The 10 item questionnaire administered at 12 weeks follow up. Individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress.

Time frame: 12 weeks after randomization

Population: Note, as an exploratory outcome, only a subgroup of randomized study participants responded to this survey request.
