Full description

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate wether a cardiac Telerehabilitation programme is as effective as an in-person rehabilitation program after acute coronary syndrome in the control of cardiovascular risk factors via the following variables: % patients with a positive result in the composite variable integrating different targets for secondary prevention in cardiovascular disease and lifestyle habits; Adherence to cardiac rehabilitation program; Adherence to pharmacological treatment; Quality of Life improvement ; Anxiety and depression; Satisfaction rate; Functional capacity; Cardiac cause hospitalization; Emergency visits; and Angioplasty revascularization procedure.

129 participants in 2 patient groups

Tele-rehabilitation

Experimental group

Description:

Patients with a myocardial infarction candidates to a rehabilitation program, will be enrolled. The patient is guided via a face-to-face telematic call to perform the cardiac rehabilitation exercises and life style education.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Experimental: Cardiac tele-rehabilitation

In person cardiac rehabilitation

Active Comparator group

Description:

Patients with a myocardial infarction candidates to a rehabilitation program, will be enrolled. The patient attends an in-person cardiac rehabilitation exercises and life style education at the hospital.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Other: Control, in person cardiac rehabilitation
