Number of Participants Who Are Successfully Enrolled Into the Pilot Study Per Month Primary · During enrollment, 11 months

As a measure of enrollment feasibility, the investigator will assess the number of participants who completed recruitment activities and were successfully consented and enrolled into the pilot study per month.

Mean Proportion of CR Sessions Completed by Participants Allocated to the THCR Intervention Primary · Assessed after enrollment (baseline) and until pilot study completion (approximately 12 weeks)

As a measure of THCR adherence, the investigator will assess the proportion of CR sessions completed by participants allocated to the THCR intervention, which includes 19 home-based + 5 clinic-based sessions.

Proportion of Participants That Attend ≥1 CR Session After Randomization in Each Arm Secondary · During 12-week follow-up period (Up to 12 weeks)

This is to assess the feasibility of program initiation among participants allocated to each arm. Participants who attended more than 1 CR session will be tallied. Numerator = total number of participants randomized into each arm who attended at least 1 CR session. Denominator = total number of participants randomized into each arm.

Mean Proportion of CR Sessions Completed by Those Allocated to the Traditional CR Intervention Secondary · Assessed after enrollment (baseline) and until pilot study completion (approximately 12 weeks)

As a measure of traditional CR adherence, the investigator will assess the proportion of CR sessions completed by those allocated to the traditional CR intervention, which includes 24 clinic-based sessions.

Proportion of Participants Who Report Adequate Feasibility of the THCR Intervention Secondary · At study completion (approximately 12 weeks)

This outcome assesses the proportion of participants in the THCR arm who report an average score ≥4 on the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM), a 4-item scale evaluating patient-perceived feasibility of the intervention. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 5 ("strongly agree"). Individual item scores are summed (possible range: 4 to 20) and averaged (possible range: 1 to 5). Participants with a mean score ≥4 ("agree" or "strongly agree" on average) are considered to perceive the intervention as adequately feasible. Higher scores indicate g

Change in Total Distance Traveled in 6MWT Secondary · Baseline and 3-month post program completion (Week 12)

This is to measure pre-to-post program change in functional capacity (using the six-minute walk test \[6MWT\]) among THCR and, separately, traditional CR participants. The 6MWT is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The total distance (meters) traveled over a time period of six minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.

Change in Health-related Quality of Life Score Secondary · Baseline and 3-month post program completion (Week 12)

This is to measure pre-to-post program change in health-related quality of life (Duke health profile questionnaire \[DUKE; physical, mental, social, and general health composite scores\]) among THCR and, separately, traditional CR participants (composite score). The DUKE is a 17-item self-report questionnaire for measuring generic health-related quality of life over a 1-week time period. Responses are scored to calculate physical health, mental health, and social health scores, which are then summed and divided by 3 to obtain a general health score. The general health score ranges from 0 - 100

Sponsor's own description

This study investigates the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial of telehealth-enhanced hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (THCR) compared with traditional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) survivors. THCR is a novel, hybrid model that targets the same core components as traditional CR (e.g., exercise training, patient education, and risk factor management), but uses a mixture of telehealth, clinic-, and home-based activities to offer 24 CR sessions (5 clinic-based + 19 home-based) over 12 weeks. Pilot study ran from March 2022 to May 2023. In 2023, intervention became unavailable, due to a telehealth vendor transition across the implementation site's healthcare system, which necessitated new remote patient monitoring platform to offer the experimental arm. Therefore, the study completed with 10 accrued.
