Personalized exercise program for cardiac outpatients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the long-term effects of a personalized physical activity program on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with stable cardiovascular disease. Participants will engage in a home training program that includes moderate-intensity aerobic activity for at least 30-60 minutes, 3-4 days a week. The study also evaluates the prognostic value of cardiovascular function through a walking test, focusing on survival, hospitalization, and medical costs. The program addresses clinical, socio-economic, and behavioral aspects, along with psychological support and risk factor management.
