Detaljert beskrivelse
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of initiating ICR (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation) at 2 weeks versus 6 weeks following hospital discharge in patients with HFrEF (Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction). This is a randomized, controlled trial with two parallel groups. The Early Intervention Group with ICR initiated 2 weeks ±2 weeks following hospital discharge and the Usual Care Group with ICR initiated 6 weeks ±2 weeks after hospital discharge. Potential participants will be identified at Missouri Baptist Medical Center and referred for ICR at the HCI (Heart Care Institute) at Barnes Jewish West County Hospital (BJWCH). This study is being funded by the Missouri Baptist Healthcare Foundation.
To be evaluable, participants must complete a minimum of 24 ICR days, scheduled up to three days per week, with the option of completing a maximum of 36 ICR days over a period of up to 12-to-15-weeks post hospital discharge. The study team will analyze the ICR data from the start of ICR through 24 days of ICR. Data after 24 days will only include information on whether a participant continues to complete the maximum 36 days of ICR. During the trial, participants will complete performance tests and PRO (Participant Reported Outcome) surveys and questionnaires. Performance tests include a 6MWT (six minute walk test), a SPPB test (Short Performance Battery Test), and a handgrip test and will be completed at baseline, and the start of ICR and at the end of the completion of the 24th day of ICR.
PROs include a Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (survey), Dartmouth COOP General Health Questionnaire (survey), PHQ-9 (survey), Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), Beck Depression Score (BDS), Rate Your Plate (RYP) and Duke Activity Status Index (DASI). PROs will be completed during baseline, start of ICR, and at the end of the 24th day of ICR.
The Early Intervention Group will repeat performance assessments and PROs 6-weeks (approximately 4-weeks post ICR start-up) following hospital discharge.

Aktiv komparator: 2 weeks post discharge group
Participants will be randomized into a 2 week post discharge group that will start cardiac rehabilitation 2 weeks after discharge compared to normal SOC at 6 weeks post discharge. |
Patients will be early referred (2 wks vs 6wks) to cardiac rehabilitation to see if there are benefits to early referral. |
|
Placebo komparator: 6 weeks post discharge group (SOC)
Participants will be randomized into the SOC 6 week post discharge group. |
Normal Standard of care 6 week referral time. |

Safety and Tolerability of Accelerated ICR 2 weeks and 6 weeks post-hospital discharge
Tidsramme: From enrollment, to completion of at least 24 cardiac rehabilitation days.
|
To evaluate safety/tolerability of accelerated ICR beginning 2 weeks post-hospital discharge compared to usual standard care ICR beginning 6 weeks post-hospital discharge in patients with HFrEF. Safety will be determined by incidence of adverse events from randomization through 24 days after ICR initiation. Tolerability will be measured by number of ICR days attended (out of the required 24 ICR days). |
From enrollment, to completion of at least 24 cardiac rehabilitation days.
