A quasi-experimental study on couple-based exercise program improving cardiac rehabilitation exercise compliance in post-PCI patients.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) helps treat coronary artery disease but only provides short-term relief and doesn't stop disease progression. Exercise rehabilitation can improve outcomes for patients after PCI and lower the risk of death and new heart problems, but many patients struggle to stick with their exercise routines. Spouses play a crucial role in supporting patients and helping them stay committed to their rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a couple-based exercise program in improving exercise adherence among post-PCI patients.
methodsThis study used a quasi-experimental design, 70 dyads were recruited for a 12-week investigation. Participants were divided into an intervention group to receive the Couple-Based exercise program and a control ensemble for conventional exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation. The primary parameter under examination was exercise adherence. Secondary endpoints encompass exercise self-efficacy, the 6-minute walk test, the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale. Data were harvested at baseline and post-intervention (12 weeks).
resultFollowing a three-month monitoring period, noticeable differences were observed in the Couples exercise group compared to the control group in the realms of exercise adherence, exercise self-efficacy, the 6-minute walk test, and anxiety-depression indices (P < 0.05).
conclusionA couple-based exercise program developed based on a developmental-contextual framework improves exercise adherence and exercise self-efficacy, enhances cardiac function and exercise capacity, and improves anxiety and depression in post-coronary arteriography patients. This approach is likely to be an effective way to improve rehabilitation outcomes, leading to the broader goal of improving patient prognosis and reducing adverse cardiovascular events.
