Summary

Cardiovascular rehabilitation (CVR) has major beneficial effects by improving physical capacity, accelerating return to activities and reinsertion and reducing mortality. It associates reconditioning to effort and therapeutic education for the optimal control of " risk factors ". It corresponds to a global approach to patients, thus counterbalancing the tendency to hyperspecialise in medicine. However, because of the lack of specialised centres, only a small proportion of patients (≈30%) are able to benefit. Numerical tools used in e-health, the deployment of the Internet and certain " connected " devices may provide alternatives outside hospital, by enabling the follow-up of patients and their physiological parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, weigh, physical activity…), and the adaptation - using an interactive web platform - of the physical activity programme, nutrition, compliance with medication and weaning from smoking. This project proposes to evaluate the effects of a so-called " connected " CVR programme, and to show its non-inferiority compared with a conventional CVR.

Conditions

• Coronary Artery Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Conventional CVR programme	Programme in a CVR centre involving 20 sessions of reconditioning to effort, 3 times per week for roughly 7 weeks, as well as 14 sessions of therapeutic education in groups.
OTHER	Connected CVR programme	First week in the CVR centre with 3 sessions combining reconditioning to effort, individual interviews and targeted therapeutic education, so as to define the objectives and methods of the connected CVR at home for the 6 following weeks.
OTHER	Follow-up visit M2	Effort test and evaluation at the end of the CVR programme
OTHER	Follow-up vsit M8	Evaluation at 8 months following the CVR programme
