Impact of a Corrie Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

Inclusion Criteria

• 18 years or older
• Individuals admitted to the hospital for the following conditions or interventions during the index admission: Acute myocardial infarction (STEMI or NSTEMI type 1), Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and Coronary artery angioplasty/stenting (PCI), Heart valve surgery, catheter-based aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Exclusion Criteria

• Non-English speaking
• Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis or other severe valvular disease
• Physical disability that would preclude safe and adequate exercise performance
• Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with peak resting left ventricular outflow gradient of >25 mmHg
• Known aortic dissection
• Severe resting arterial hypertension (Systolic blood pressure >200 mmHg or diastolic BP >110mmHg) at baseline assessment
• Mental impairment leading to inability to cooperate with study procedures
• Untreated high degree atrioventricular block
• Atrial fibrillation with uncontrolled ventricular rate (Heart rate >110 at rest) at baseline assessment
• History of cardiac arrest or sudden death
• Myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery complications with cardiogenic shock and/or congestive heart failure and/or signs/symptoms of post-procedure ischemia
• Left ventricular ejection fraction <40%
• History of Clinically significant depression
• Visual or hearing impairment which precludes the use of the intervention
• Presence of cardiac defibrillator
• Incomplete revascularization procedure
• History of one or more episodes of falls in the last year
• Pregnancy
• If patients are deemed clinically unstable and unable to participate at the time of initial screening, the research team member may return at a later date to determine whether this status has changed.
