Trial summary

Cardiac Rehabilitation, as art and acting science multiprofessional, is based on the training with exercises that provides the post-infarct patients to satisfactorily re-establish the patient's clinical condition and that improve the functional capacity of these individuals.

About this study

Official title: Effect of Aerobic or Resistance Exercise on the Endothelial Response in Post-acute Myocardial Infarction Patients Submitted to Angioplasty: Randomized Clinical Trial

Cardiac Rehabilitation, as art and acting science multiprofessional, is based on the training with exercises that provides the post-infarct patients to satisfactorily re-establish the patient's clinical condition and that improve the functional capacity of these individuals.

Evidence shows that aerobic exercise training provides improvements in the endothelial function of this population. However, we do not yet have strong evidence of other modalities of exercise in these parameters in post-infarction patients treated with angioplasty.

Being tested
Resistance exercise session

What participants receive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resistance exercise session in people with Cardiac Rehabilitation and Aerobic Exercise, run by Instituto de Cardiologia do Rio Grande do Sul at 1 site in Brazil.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 27 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. 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?

Endothelial function (time frame: Pre and post 5 minutes exercise session). 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 NCT04000893, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jun 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
