About this study

Official title: Effects of a Physical Therapist-driven Individualized Hybrid Model of the Exercise Component of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Patient Outcomes: a Prospective Cohort Study

Determine if the standard of care at a cardiac rehabilitation center using what the investigators term to be "hybrid model" on the exercise component of cardiac rehabilitation is associated with improved adherence and outcomes. Discuss the hybrid model in comparison to traditional cardiac rehabilitation and layout a template on how to incorporate this hybrid model. Discuss factors that may lead to poor adherence and attendance to cardiac rehabilitation.

Read the detailed description

Purpose: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to determine the effectiveness of an individualized physical therapist (PT) driven hybrid model of the exercise component of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) that uses a novel intensity-recovery progression protocol (IRPP) and cardiac testing template (CTT) to assess achieved heart rate intensity (AHRI%), heart rate recovery (HRR%), and intensity-recovery total (IR%) as indicators to guide treatment.

Methods: Assessment of a subjective questionnaire, vital signs, treadmill 6-minute walk (6MW), 1-minute sit-to-stand (1STS), 1-minute step (1ST), and 1-minute agility square tests (1AST) were assessed on 100 participants during the 36-visit program. The hybrid model was led by a PT, was longer in duration, added high intensity interval training (HIIT) to continuous aerobic exercise training (CAET) and resistance training, and used a 1:1 treatment ratio. Treatment intensity and progression were measured based on clinical decision making through the IRPP and CTT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Six Minute Walk Test

    Treadmill Six Minute Walk Test

    Measured: Six Minutes

  2. Timed Sit To Stand Test

    A standardized test measuring how many times an individual can stand from a standardized seated position in one minute using hand support to push off.

    Measured: One Minute

  3. Timed Step Test

    A test measuring how many repetitions an individual can go up and down a standardized step while using bilateral arm support on a rail.

    Measured: One Minute

  4. Timed Agility Square Test

    Using agility ladder square to go in and out of designated two boxes

    Measured: One Minute

  5. Achieved Target Heart Rate (AHRI%)

    Heart rate achieved during outcome measurements (six minute walk test, timed sit to stand test, timed step test, timed agility square test). Completed every 5 visits from date of initiation up to 1 year after initiation or until visit 36 achieved (whichever comes first). Participants expected to attend the program at a frequency of 2x a week for 36 total visits.

    Measured: One minute

  6. Heart Rate Recovery (HRR%)

    Heart rate observed one minute after outcome measurements (six minute walk test, timed sit to stand test, timed step test, timed agility square test). Completed every 5 visits from date of initiation up to 1 year after initiation or until visit 36 achieved (whichever comes first).

    Measured: One minute

  7. Intensity Recovery Total Score (IR%)

    The total of the AHRI + HRR during objective measurements (six minute walk test, timed sit to stand test, timed step test, timed agility square test). Completed every 5 visits from date of initiation up to 1 year after initiation or until visit 36 achieved (whichever comes first).

    Measured: One minute

  8. Subjective Questionnaire

    Three questions (where higher scores denote better outcomes) Question 1: Rate your endurance (using a visual analog scale from 0-100% marked every 10%)? Question 2: Estimate how many stairs you could go up using arm support before you would have to take a break? Question 3: Estimate how many hours of exercise you completed in the previous 7 days?

    Measured: From date of initiation of study up to 1 year after initiation. Collected on Visit 1, Visit 15, Visit 30 for each participant, who were expected to attend the program at a frequency of 2x a week for 36 total sessions.

No: IPD (decodified) will be stored in a password protected laptop in a locked room in a locked file cabinet at the clinic site. The statistical summarized analysis will be the main focus for the public and other researchers. The cardiac testing template in excel format will be available for other researchers looking to use the hybrid model explained in the study, however, this template will not contain individualized personal data.

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

Six Minute Walk Test (time frame: Six Minutes). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06030115, which also lists 70 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 8 Sep 2023.
