Overview

Improves functional capacity vs usual care in CHD; extends digital CR/SP access evidence to resource-limited settings.

Key Points

  • The aim of this study is to evaluate if smartphone and social media-based cardiac rehabilitation can enhance disease self-management and health outcomes for coronary heart disease patients post-PCI.
  • Single-blind, randomized controlled trial with 300 patients post-PCI and 12-month follow-up.
  • Intervention group receives a smartphone and WeChat-based cardiac rehabilitation program for education and support.
  • Control group receives usual care without a formal rehabilitation program.
  • Primary outcome: change in exercise capacity via 6-minute walk test distance.
  • Secondary outcomes include improved knowledge of CHD, risk factor status, and quality of life.
  • Feasibility and patient acceptance will be evaluated at study conclusion.
