Conditions

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), Cardiac Rehabilitation

Brief summary

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate wether a cardiac Telerehabilitation programme is as effective as an in-person rehabilitation program after acute coronary syndrome in the control of cardiovascular risk factors

Detailed description

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate wether a cardiac Telerehabilitation programme is as effective as an in-person rehabilitation program after acute coronary syndrome in the control of cardiovascular risk factors via the following variables: % patients with a positive result in the composite variable integrating different targets for secondary prevention in cardiovascular disease and lifestyle habits; Adherence to cardiac rehabilitation program; Adherence to pharmacological treatment; Quality of Life improvement ; Anxiety and depression; Satisfaction rate; Functional capacity; Cardiac cause hospitalization; Emergency visits; and Angioplasty revascularization procedure.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALExperimental: Cardiac tele-rehabilitation

Patients will connect to their health care provider via a tele-call

BEHAVIORALOther: Control, in person cardiac rehabilitation

Patients will attend an ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation unit

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
% patients with a positive result in the composite variable integrating different targets for secondary prevention in cardiovascular disease and lifestyle habits• (%) [Time Frame: 0-2months +- 30 days-6 months +-7days]Variable for Cardiovascular Risk Factor Control: Composite Variable Integrating Different Targets for Secondary Prevention in Cardiovascular Disease and Lifestyle Habits 1. Blood pressure \<140/90 mmHg 2. Maintaining normal weight or a 5% reduction in body weight if BMI \> 25 kg/m2 3. Abdominal circumference \<88 cm in women and \<102 cm in men 4. LDL \<50 mg/dl and a reduction of \>50% in initial LDL levels 5. Smoking cessation 6. Adherence to a heart-healthy diet (PREDIMED Questionnaire\* ≥7) 7. Adherence to physical activity level: 6,000-10,000 steps/day or moderate-high IPAQ\*\* result (International Physical Activity Questionnaire)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adherence to cardiac rehabilitation program2 months +-30 day% of patients adherent to cardiac rehabilitation program
Adherence to pharmacological treatment0-2months +- 30 days-6 months +-7daysAdherence to pharmacological treatment by Morinsky Green Questionnaire, Dichotomous variable: yes means adherent to treatment wich is a better score and no means non adherent to treatment wich is a worse score.
Quality of Life improvement0-2months +- 30 days-6 months +-7daysQuality of Life by EuroQol-5D questionnaire. EuroQoL-5D index (0-1) 0: Represent the worse state of Health, equivalent to death. 1: Represents the best state of Health ( no problems in any dimension of the questionnaire).
Anxiety and depression0-2months +- 30 days-6 months +-7daysAnxiety and depression by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). HAD Questionnaire: 0-42: Higher values are worse than lower values.
Functional capacity0-2months +- 30 daysFunctional capacity by cardiac stress test (METS)
Cardiac cause hospitalization6 months +-7daysCardiac cause hospitalization
Emergency visits6 months +-7daysEmergency visits
Angioplasty revascularization procedure0-2months +- 30 daysAngioplasty revascularization procedure. Further coronary angiography during follow up Yes: is worse No: is better
Satisfaction rate2months +- 30 daysSatisfaction rate with the program, Scale 0-100 (%); 0-100%: Higher values are better than lower values

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cost analysis6 months +-7daysAnalyze in terms of economic cost (euros) whether there are differences between both programs ( total cost of Telerehabilitation program and total cost of in person program) Total cost includes: direct costs, indirect costs, and intangible costs.
