Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to fill in the gaps in knowledge on the tolerability and effectiveness of an outpatient, Pritikin-based Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation (ICR) program on traditional cardiovascular risk factors, exercise performance, and patient well-being (as assessed by questionnaires), as well as to monitor subsequent clinical events. The hypothesis is that patients in the Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation (ICR) group will have greater improvements in several cardiovascular disease risk factors than patients in the conventional Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) group at the end of 24 sessions.
