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 feasibility study enrolls adults under 55 who recently experienced a myocardial infarction and report cardiac distress. Participants complete six remote sessions over 13 weeks to see if the rBEL program can be delivered effectively and if the trial procedures work as planned. It is an uncontrolled, single-arm, pre-post design aimed at informing a future controlled evaluation. Feasibility will be judged against predefined criteria for study procedures and program acceptability. The program uses cognitive behavioral principles to address recovery processes after MI.
