Key result

The TRiCH study is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether a 3-month home-based cardiac rehabilitation program with telemonitoring improves peak VO2 at 1 year.

Why the study?

Does a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program with telemonitoring guidance improve exercise capacity in coronary artery disease patients compared to center-based rehabilitation or standard advice?

Structured PICO

Does a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program with telemonitoring guidance improve exercise capacity in coronary artery disease patients compared to center-based rehabilitation or standard advice?

P
Population
105 coronary artery disease patients aged 40-75 years who completed a 3-month phase II cardiac rehabilitation program, randomized to home-based, center-based, or control groups with 1-year follow-up.
I
Intervention
3-month patient-tailored home-based cardiac rehabilitation program with telemonitoring guidance (Home-CR)
C
Comparator
Supervised center-based cardiac rehabilitation program (Center-CR) or a control group receiving advice to maintain a physically active lifestyle
O
Outcome
Change in exercise capacity assessed by peak oxygen uptake at 3 and 12 months of follow-upsurrogate

The TRiCH study is designed to evaluate whether a 3-month home-based cardiac rehabilitation program with telemonitoring improves long-term exercise capacity compared to center-based rehabilitation or standard advice in patients with coronary artery disease.

Kaatje Goetschalckx (2014) conducted an RCT in Coronary artery disease (n=105). Home-based training with telemonitoring guidance (Home-CR) vs. Supervised center-based cardiac rehabilitation program (Center-CR) and a control group was evaluated on Change in exercise capacity assessed by peak oxygen uptake at 3 and 12 months of follow-up. The TRiCH study is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether a 3-month home-based cardiac rehabilitation program with telemonitoring improves peak VO2 at 1 year.
