This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether heart attack patients can safely and effectively recover using remote video-guided exercise sessions at home, instead of only attending in-person exercise classes at a hospital. Some hospitals will offer patients the choice of doing exercises at home, at the clinic, or a mix of both — while other hospitals will offer only the traditional clinic-based approach. Researchers will compare how well both approaches work for patient recovery.
Many heart attack patients struggle to attend regular in-person rehabilitation classes due to time, distance, or other barriers. This study explores whether offering home-based exercise options could make cardiac rehabilitation more accessible and help more patients recover successfully.
Depending on which hospital you attend, you will either be offered home-based exercise classes via video, traditional in-person classes at the clinic, or a choice of both. Either way, you will exercise for 60 minutes twice a week for 3 months, with a physiotherapist guiding and adjusting your program. You will also be asked to do at least one additional 30-minute aerobic exercise session on your own each week. The study will follow you with check-ins 1 year and 3 years after your heart attack to see how well you recover.
