About

This study adopts a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled clinical study, with Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital as the leading unit, and the other 13 hospitals as cooperative units.

Full description

It uniformly deploys an integrated cardiac rehabilitation management platform from the hospital to outside the hospital. Based on this platform, precise cardiac rehabilitation for myocardial infarction patients based on continuous dynamic physiological data is carried out. A total of 160 myocardial infarction patients after PCI who will undergo digital therapy cardiac rehabilitation are randomly divided into a digital cardiac rehabilitation group (experimental group) and a conventional treatment group (control group) at a ratio of 1:1 using a computer random sequence method, with 80 patients included in each group.

Enrollment: 160 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Masking: None (Open label)

---

160 participants in 2 patient groups

Digitalized Cardiac Rehabilitation Group (Experimental Group)

Experimental group

Description:

Intervention group patients received in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation during their hospital stay and a digital cardiac rehabilitation program after discharge.

Regular Treatment Group (Control Group)

Experimental group

Description:

The patients in the control group received in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation during their hospitalization, and after discharge, they conducted cardiac rehabilitation training at home by themselves and returned to the hospital for regular follow-up.
