Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It is known that organized cardiac rehabilitation is effective in improving exercise capacity in coronary heart disease patients. Less is known about the long-term results after cardiac rehabilitation. Earlier studies have shown that many patients quit exercising when no longer attending formal rehabilitation. The investigators wish to investigate the effect of a maintenance program after ending a rehabilitation program, and to compare this to usual care. The investigators hypothesis is that the maintenance program will result in higher exercise capacity and more physical activity compared to usual care.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Maintenance program

Patients will attend a "motivational exercise session" once monthly. They will also be tested (exercise test with measurement of peak oxygen uptake) every third months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The patients will meet for organized exercise training once monthly and also exercise testing every third month.

Control

Usual care. The patients will receive the usual care provided by the hospital and community health services

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control

Intervention Type OTHER

The patients will receive the usual care provided by the hospitals and the community health services
