About this study

The effect of early short-term home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program on left ventricular function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients is not clear yet.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Being aged 18-65 years with a confirmed AMI diagnosis
Being suitable for the CR program
Undergoing PCI at the entry

Exclusion criteria

Known ischemic heart disease, heart valvular lesions, intra-ventricular conduction disturbances, malignant arrhythmia, cardiac shock, and poor echocardiographic conditions to take STE examination

Treatment and study plan

entailing an early home-based CR program

Behavioral

enter the early outpatient phase of CR program. The progressive exercise training of this phase was performed without supervision after their discharge. The CR program consisted of a five-minute warm-up period (stretching), a twenty-minute aerobic exercise (walking or trotting, gymnastics), and a five-minute cooling-down period (stretching)

enter the usual care program

Other

enter the usual care program, including the importance of carrying out physical activity, which was performed during inpatient care.

Primary outcomes
