Conditions

Summary

This is a multi-site phase II, 2:1 pragmatic randomized trial of 250 participants within the NYU Langone Health (NYULH) and Emory University Medical Center system to evaluate mobile health cardiac rehabilitation (mHealth-CR) in patients who meet clinical criteria for INOCA (ischemia and no obstructive coronary disease on imaging). Participants will be randomized to mHealth-CR or usual care. The study intervention takes place for 3 months which is the time period for most traditional CR programs. The overall study goals are threefold: 1) to evaluate whether an mHealth-CR intervention that includes activity tracking, weekly counseling, and exercise documentation, improves health status (i.e., symptoms, function, and quality of life) in patients with INOCA at 3 months; 2) to evaluate effects of the mHealth-CR intervention vs. usual care on physical activity and exercise capacity, general health status, and depressive symptoms (secondary endpoints). We will also evaluate effects on primary and secondary outcomes at 6 months and 1 year; and 3) to characterize engagement and elucidate any factors that limit engagement.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALCommunication with exercise therapist

A personalized exercise program will be designed. The assigned therapist will identify potential barriers to this plan and develop mitigation strategies. The assigned therapist will then make phone contact with participants weekly for the duration of the study. Exercise recommendations will be titrated during calls based on review of activity data.

BEHAVIORALmHealth-CR

mHealth-CR software (currently, from Corrie Health) will permit 1) participant data entry about exercise; 2) viewing of educational material pertinent to the condition.

BEHAVIORALWearable activity monitoring device

Participants will be offered the Fitbit Charge 5. This commercially available product measures physical activity.
