Using mobile health technology for cardiac rehabilitation in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease
mHealth-CArdiac REhabilitation for INOCA (INOCA-CARE)
This study is looking at how using mobile health technology can help people with ischemia but no blocked arteries get heart rehab at home, making it easier and more affordable for them to improve their health and quality of life.

What this research studies
This research investigates the use of mobile health technology to provide cardiac rehabilitation for patients suffering from ischemia without obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA). It aims to address the challenges these patients face in accessing traditional rehabilitation programs, such as long distances to facilities and high costs. By utilizing portable electronic devices, the study will deliver rehabilitation components at home, including exercise counseling and remote monitoring of physical activity. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach in improving the quality of life for patients with INOCA.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are patients diagnosed with ischemia but without obstructive coronary artery disease who experience symptoms like angina and fatigue.
Not a fit: Patients with obstructive coronary artery disease or those who do not experience ischemic symptoms may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly enhance the quality of life and symptom management for patients with INOCA.
How similar studies have performed: While mobile health-enabled cardiac rehabilitation programs are becoming more common, this specific approach for INOCA patients has not yet been tested.
