Impact of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Patient Outcomes
Sponsor: Kutahya Health Sciences University
Summary
Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the impact of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on functional capacity, depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, and sleep quality in patients with heart disease. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who participated in a structured CR program. Clinical records were reviewed to compare pre- and post-rehabilitation outcomes. Functional capacity was assessed using the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), while depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, and sleep quality were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Short Form-36 (SF-36), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively.

Interventions
Exercise Based Cardiac Rehabilitation
The intervention consists of a structured, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. The exercise protocol was tailored to each patient's clinical status and typically included aerobic endurance training complemented by resistance training for major muscle groups. Each session lasted approximately 40-60 minutes, consisting of a 10-minute warm-up, 20-40 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or high-intensity interval training (1:1 ratio), and a 10-minute cool-down period.
