Brief Summary

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

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and disability globally, accounting for approximately 31% (17.9 million) of all deaths each year. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the total suspension of most cardiac rehabilitation programs at the highest peaks of the spread, forcing people not to leave home, enhancing metabolic conditions and generating further complications due to sedentary lifestyle. Physical exercise is an essential component in the rehabilitation of patients with heart failure disease, evidencing improvements in quality of life, functional capacity, in addition to reducing the mortality rate, number of rehospitalizations, and levels of depression. It is necessary to carry out interventions adapted to the needs of patients who have difficulties traveling to health centers, however, some authors report that remotely oriented exercise could present results similar to those of traditional rehabilitation in a center or Therefore, promoting a cardiac telerehabilitation program together with telephone educational follow-up could cause greater improvements compared to other cardiac rehabilitation and telerehabilitation programs.

Objective: To determine the effects of a physical exercise program and telephone educational follow-up mediated by cardiac telerehabilitation in patients with heart failure on functional capacity, depression, and health-related quality of life.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A randomized controlled clinical trial type study will be carried out, in a period of 6 months between the year 2022, in patients with a diagnosis of heart failure who enter a cardiac rehabilitation program in the city of Santiago de Cali, Colombia, linking to the research after the consultation with cardiology in three groups: physical exercise program and conventional educational component with telephone follow-up (Intervention), physical exercise program and conventional educational component mediated by cardiac telerehabilitation, to which measurements of sociodemographic variables and clinical before-after measurements (physiological, paraclinical, anthropometric) functional capacity, quality of life and state of depression.

Telerehabilitation, Education and Telephone Monitoring.

The effects of a physical exercise program and educational component with telephone follow-up mediated by cardiac telerehabilitation in patients with heart failure on functional capacity, depression and health-related quality of life will be determined.

Each participant will be given a polar FT4 brand frequency monitor to record their HR, an OMRON brand digital blood pressure monitor to monitor blood pressure and the conventional Borg scale will be used for perception of exertion during exercise.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

1 time a week 30 minutes for each patient individually and in a group with topics: knowledge of the disease, use of medications, warning signs, anxiety management, relaxation techniques, exercises at home, sexual relations and adequate nutrition

telerehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

The program will be assisted by virtual technology and consists of physical exercise at home (for 60 minutes, 3 times a week for a period of 12 weeks, structured by warming up, muscle strengthening of lower and upper limbs, continuous aerobic training and cool down ) supervised by a physiotherapist specializing in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation through the "Google Meet" platform

follow-up

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Telephone calls will be made 3 times a week as a follow-up method to obtain information from each person about their heart rate and perception of effort in relation to the activities carried out where they are encouraged to exercise at home on days without intervention.

conventional rehabilitation and Education

The effects of a physical exercise program and a conventional educational component in patients with heart failure on functional capacity, depression and health-related quality of life will be determined. The development of this program will be carried out in person guided by a physiotherapist specializing in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

conventional rehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER
