Talk-Test Trial Summary

This trial is testing if the Talk Test is as effective and safe as the CPET for prescribing exercise to patients post CABG or PCI, who are enrolled in a home-based CR program with virtual exercise training monitoring.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals over 40 who've had a heart bypass or stent placement between 4 to 12 weeks ago. Participants need the ability to perform a CPET, have access to MyChart, email, internet, and a smartphone with fast internet. It's not for those unable to attend follow-ups, already in cardiac rehab programs, or with certain heart conditions like severe valve disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if the 'Talk Test' can be as effective and safe as CPET (a type of exercise test) for prescribing home-based exercises after heart surgery. Patients will receive virtual monitoring during their rehabilitation program at home.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves exercise prescriptions rather than medication, side effects are minimal but may include typical risks associated with starting an exercise regimen post-heart surgery such as discomfort or fatigue.
