Comparison of the effects of cardiac rehabilitation programs on patient outcomes

Experimental group

Description:

The experimental group patients were included in the cardiac rehabilitation program. The cardiac rehabilitation program was implemented in the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation unit with bicycle ergometry devices by a team consisting of a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, physiotherapist and nurse. The target heart rate that could be achieved during exercise was determined according to the patient's age and the medications he/she used. The exercise intensity was planned as low and moderate according to the target heart rate percentage. The program was organized as 30 sessions, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks. The sessions were implemented for half an hour while the patients were monitored from the bicycle ergometry device.

Treatment:

Other: Cardiac rehabilitation program

Comparison of the effects of standard care on patient outcomes

No Intervention group

Description:

The control group patients were not subjected to any program other than the training they received upon discharge, which was the routine operation of the clinics.
