ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how two different types of exercise programs, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT), can help patients who have recently had a heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction. The study will last for 12 weeks and aims to see how these workouts affect overall heart health, including improvements in fitness levels, heart function, body fat, and even mental well-being.

To participate, you need to be between 18 and 75 years old and have had a heart attack within the last 6 weeks to 3 months. You should also have undergone a procedure to improve blood flow to your heart and be willing to commit to the rehabilitation program. Participants will undergo fitness tests and will be monitored throughout the study. It's important to note that individuals with certain serious health conditions or who are already doing high-intensity exercise may not be eligible. This trial is a great opportunity for eligible patients to take an active step in their recovery while contributing to important research on heart health.
