Brief summary

The study aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive status, exercise capacity, and fatigue perception in coronary artery disease patients.

Detailed description

Exercise training for patients with coronary artery disease is an essential element of multicomponent cardiac rehabilitation. For the successful implementation of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programs, adequate cognitive function (e.g. executive function, selective attention, memory) is an important prerequisite. In patients with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, the presence of coronary microvascular dysfunction as determined by low coronary flow reserve is associated with abnormal cerebral flow hemodynamics and mild but significant impairment in cognitive function. In the literature, there is no study examining the relationship between cognitive level and fatigue perception.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Cognitive State Assessment	August 2023-August 2024	Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) will be used to assess cognitive status.
Assessment of Exercise Capacity	August 2023-August 2024	Exercise capacity will be evaluated with modified shuttle walking test.
Assessment of Perceived Fatigue Severity After Exercise Test	August 2023-August 2024	It will be evaluated on the Modified Borg Scale from 0 to 10. 0 means no fatigue. 10 means extremely tired.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Physical Activity Assessment	August 2023-August 2024	Physical activity level will be measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). 600 METs (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) min/week means inactive.
