Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
Sponsor: University of Castilla-La Mancha
Summary
This protocol study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a cardiac rehabilitation intervention program in patients with cardiovascular diseases to improve both anthropometric and biochemical data, as well as other variables related to cardiovascular disorders (cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, …), and emotional aspects (anxiety, depression). Additionally, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the cardiac rehabilitation program in improving body composition (waist circumference and body fat percentage), blood pressure and health-related quality of life. Objectives: i) To assess the functional capacity of patients with a recent cardiovascular event (acute coronary syndrome, onset heart failure, valve or bypass surgery) or with chronic decompensated cardiovascular disease (valvulopathy, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, heart failure) chronic), ii) to determine the different cardiorespiratory parameters obtained from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), iii) to determine the lifestyle habits and cardiovascular risk factors, iv) to develop a cardiac rehabilitation program according to and adapted to the need of each of these patients, v) to estimate the effect of the intervention, both in the muscle strength and in post-intervention CPET, biochemical and anthropometric parameters, v) to estimate the effect of the intervention in the quality of life, anxiety, depression, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet.

Interventions
Cardiac rehabilitation
Physical exercise intervention within a cardiac rehabilitation program, lasting 2 months, 3 days per week. The intervention consists of a first part of warm up the large muscle groups, accompanied by breathing exercises, followed by a part of strength and muscular resistance training exercises (upper and lower limbs and abdominal muscles), another part of aerobic exercise part (continuous and interval), using a treadmill or cycle ergometer, and finally a part of stretching exercises and a cool-down phase.
