Cardiac Rehabilitation for the Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The benefits of cardiac rehabilitation include improving exercise tolerance and quality of life. However the attending rate of the patients with acute myocardial infarction was low according to the previous studies. This is a retrospective chart review study collecting the basic characteristics of the patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction of Wang-Fang Hospital (from Jan 1, 2012 to June 30, 2021). The aims of the studies are to investigate the related issues of cardiac rehabilitation including (1) attending rate (2) the efficacy of exercise training (3) the factors that limit the participation of the training programs.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction in the emergent department The cases being admitted to the Emergent Department and than transferred to the general ward due to the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction were included in the study (from Jan 1, 2012 to Jun 30, 2022). The age of these cases must be older than or equal to 20 years old. |
Other: phase II cardiac rehabilitation
Phase II cardiac rehabilitation was provided in the the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation in Wan Fang Hospital. The programs are two times a week, one session for 30 minutes (30 sessions in total). The training programs are focused on aerobic training with bicycles. The training intensity is calculated with 40% to 80% oxygen consumption reserve from the result of cardiopulmonary exercise test. In case of safety, heart rate, blood pressure, EKG and rate of perceived exertion will be monitored during training.
