Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Immediate enrolment in cardiac rehab (12 weeks exercise-based program, Cardihab educational support, telehealth follow-up) 1-week post revascularization of acute myocardial infarction.
- Accredited exercise physiologist will be supervising the exercise session.
- Patient will attend individually or in group no more than 6.
- Exercise prescription will be personalized based on the cardiopulmonary exercise testing and therefore will incorporate various level of exercise intensity (low, moderate and in some participants vigorous). Two supervised exercise sessions per week (each consisting of 30 minutes of aerobic training and 30 minutes of resistance training), one unsupervised 30–60 minute home-based aerobic exercise session per week. Each exercise program is individually prescribed based on the baseline maximal exercise test and regular submaximal incremental exercise tests performed throughout the intervention. This periodization plan follows a modified version of the 2:1 step paradigm (2 weeks of loading, 1 week unloading).
- Educational session will be facilitating by a clinical research nurse through the CardiHab Platform (https://cardihab.com/). Standard educational materials will be used and selected based on intake history in order to optimize secondary prevention strategies, including diet, nutrition, and lifestyle factor modification. These are standard education materials from the CardiHab (TGA registered) platform, designed to meet TGA guidelines for secondary prevention of cardiac disease.
- Telehealth follow up will be conducted by a research assistant and escalated to the clinical research nurse and or PI/Cardiology when appropriate. It will serve as a check-in, data collection, and advice provided as required.
- follow up with occur 12 months following enrollment.

Rehabilitation
Comparator / control treatment
Standard of care - cardiac rehab. All interventions the same but intervention/rehab timeline as per standard care. The control group will receive the same program but at a delayed time. It usually takes 1-2 months to enrol in cardiac rehabilitation depending on the program, our study's comparator is specific enrolment one week after having an acute cardiac event versus the usual enrolment process (which is variable between programs, usually depending on demand).

Active
