About this study

Official title: Comparative Study of Training Modality After Myocardial Infarction; Standard Care Rehabilitation Training or Interval Treadmill Training

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the standard rehabilitation offered by three hospital rehabilitation units in Norway, one in Trondheim, one in Ålesund and one in Levanger, compared to an interval treadmill training program. The subjects participating in the study are patients with myocardial infarction. The maximal oxygen consumption of the subjects will be tested before and after the training period.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the standard rehabilitation offered by three hospital rehabilitation units in Norway, one in Trondheim, one in Ålesund and one in Levanger, compared to an interval treadmill training program. The subjects participating in the study are patients with myocardial infarction. The maximal oxygen consumption of the subjects will be tested before and after the training period.

Primary outcome: Maximal oxygen consumption Secondary outcomes: Blood values (for endothelial function, blood lipids, etc), flow mediated dilatation, quality of life (SF 36 and MacNew), weight, BMI, heart rate fall 1 minute after stopping the maximal treadmill test.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Exercise trainingBehavioural

    Standard exercise training at the hospital, two times per week for twelve weeks

  • Exercise trainingBehavioural

    Interval exercise training with high intensity on treadmill. Subjects exercise two times per week for twelve weeks

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change in maximal oxygen consumption

    At baseline, following intervention and at 6 months after the intervention. An additional follow-up test will be conducted in all patients who want to participate during 2009.

    Measured: baseline, after intervention and at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. quality of life

    Measured: baseline, after intervention and at 6 months

  2. flow mediated dilatation

    flow mediated dilatation (endothelial function)

    Measured: baseline, after intervention and at 6 months

  3. echocardiography

    Measured: baseline, after intervention and at 6 months

  4. blood markers

    Measured: baseline, after intervention and at 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise training in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Norwegian University of Science and Technology at 3 sites in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in maximal oxygen consumption (time frame: baseline, after intervention and at 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00235339, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2012.
