Brief Summary

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

The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate whether the Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation (ICR) program provides incremental benefits over the Traditional Cardiac Rehabilitation (TCR) program, defined by readmission costs. The study aims to confirm:

* That ICR is associated with better outcomes than TCR, defined as lower readmission costs, lower incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and improvement in biomarkers, epigenetic markers, and inflammatory markers.
* The addition of food to the ICR program will further improve these outcomes.

ICR-eligible participants

* Will be randomized into one of three groups: (1) ICR 72 session program with home-delivered C2life® supplied food, (2) ICR 72 session without C2life® supplied food, or (3) TCR 36 session program without C2life supplied food
* Biometric measurements and laboratory measurements will be performed at entry into the rehab intervention, discharge from rehab intervention, and at 6 months after discharge.
* Epigenetic measurements will be performed at admission and discharge from the rehab intervention

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

ICR-eligible patients are randomized into one of three groups of 150 patients: (1) ICR 72 session program with C2life® supplied food, (2) ICR 72 session without C2life® supplied food, or (3) TCR 36 session program without C2life supplied food (ICR-food, ICR-no food, and TCR-no food).

ICR-No Food

Intensive Cardiac Rehab (ICR) 72-session program without C2life® supplied food

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patient must have a qualifying cardiovascular event and eligible for ICR. Once patient is randomized to ICR arm, they will attend 72 sessions of the program at one of three locations.

ICR-Food

Intensive Cardiac Rehab (ICR\_ 72-session program with C2life® supplied food

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

C2life® Food

Intervention Type OTHER

Patient must have a qualifying cardiovascular event and eligible for ICR. Once patient is randomized to ICR arm with food, they will receive the food at the beginning of the second week of their respective program. Food will be delivered by mail weekly for a total of 11 weeks to the patient's home address.

TCR-No Food

Traditional Cardiac Rehab (TCR) 36-session program without C2life® supplied food

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Traditional Cardiac Rehabilitation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patient must have a qualifying cardiovascular event and eligible for ICR. Once patient is randomized to TCR arm, they will attend 36 sessions of the program at one of three locations.
