ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help people recover from serious heart conditions known as acute coronary syndromes (ACS) by providing rehabilitation at home, with the support of family members. The researchers want to find out if this home-based program, which includes exercise, diet changes, and stress management, is better than regular care in improving the patients' quality of life and physical fitness.

To join the study, participants must be between 18 and 65 years old, have been hospitalized for ACS within the last year, and live with family who can help with their care. They should be in stable physical and mental health, meaning they don’t have serious other health issues and are not showing signs of depression. Over the 12-week program, participants will follow a structured plan that includes walking exercises, dietary changes, and regular check-ins with a doctor. This trial is not yet recruiting, but it aims to empower both patients and their families in the recovery process.
